Sunagawa Struggle
Japanese protest movement
About
The Sunagawa Struggle (Japanese: 砂川闘争, Hepburn: Sunagawa Tōsō; also written as "Sunakawa") was a protest movement in Japan, starting in 1955 and continuing until 1957, against the expansion of the U.S. Air Force's Tachikawa Air Base into the nearby village of Sunagawa. Taking place at the peak of a growing anti-base movement, "Bloody Sunagawa" is remembered as the most intense and violent of many protests against U.S. military bases in Japan.
