Talk:Assassination of Inejirō Asanuma

Wakizashi edit

The article states it was a wakizashi, but it writes "his" wakizashi. Other articles state that it belonged to his father, so the word "his" implying ownership appears wrong, if this is the case. But this is the minor part. Are we certain it was a wakizashi and not a katana or a yoroi doshi? There is video footage and to me it looks like a wakizashi, but I am not competent enough to distinguish it from a yoroi doshi in that video. I assume the information is there, probably just in japanese, so someone may perhaps find the article and translate it to confirm. 2A02:8388:1604:F600:6D3E:54F:D1:F386 (talk) 01:59, 19 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

The Japanese wikipedia says the weapon was a "sword like a wakizashi", so do with that what you will DarmaniLink (talk) 09:00, 6 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Conflicting information edit

In the picture caption it says the assassin tried to stab Asanuma a second time but in the "Assassination" section it says he "tried to turn the sword on himself" after the first stab. Mika1h (talk) 15:28, 8 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
