"Japan's Black Fog" is a non-fiction work by Seicho Matsumoto.
It was first published in the monthly magazine Bungeishunju, serialized from the January to December 1960 issues. It is a series of non-fiction works that approach the truth of important incidents that occurred under the American occupation from Seicho's perspective.
The term "black fog" became a social phenomenon and a catchphrase, and it became one of Seicho's masterpieces.
"Black Fog" is a metaphor for the American conspiracy that lurks behind a series of mysterious incidents that occurred during the six years and eight months of American occupation from the acceptance of the Potsdam Declaration in August 1945 to the effective date of the San Francisco Peace Treaty on April 28, 1952, when Japan regained its independence.
The precursor to this series of works was "The Teikoku Bank Incident," published in Bungeishunju in the May to July 1959 issues in 1959, the year before the publication of "Japan's Black Fog." "The Teikoku Bank Incident" was the first work to delve into the depths of the "black fog" during the American occupation, and it received a great response from readers.
"The Black Fog of Japan" became a bestseller as soon as it was released as a book. The term "black fog" became a popular phrase at the time, and a "black fog boom" was sparked. The term "black fog" became established as a term to describe mysterious incidents and suspicions, and the political scandal that came to light in 1966 and the pro baseball match-fixing allegations in 1969 were both called the "black fog incidents."
"The Black Fog of Japan," published in 1960, is the first to feature the aircraft accident in which the Japan Airlines passenger plane, the Mokusei, crashed into a mountainside near the crater of Izu Oshima Island on April 9, 1952 (Showa 27), when all aviation in Japan was controlled by the US Air Force under the Allied occupation.
