Seicho Matsumoto and Kiyohara
Seicho Matsumoto
(松本 清張, Matsumoto Seicho) was one of the most influential writers of the history of modern Japan as well as of mystery novels. In his Showa Shi Hakkutsu 『昭和史発掘』, Matsumoto cited what Yasuhira Kiyohara later revealed in 1986. Kiyohara stated that he led his group of soldiers to the front of the Imperial Palace without any machine guns or weapons. Matsumoto believes that they were immature and misunderstood Emperor Hirohito. Kiyohara said in a round-table discussion that "it was our program that we enter the Palace with the permission of Emperor Hirohito through Military Officer General to his Majesty Honjo. However, Emperor Hirohito was very furious at our coup d'état."
