Tokyo Stabbing - Pulitzer Prize in 1961
Yasushi Nagao, a photographer for the Mainichi Shimbun, was covering a political lecture in Tokyo when chaos erupted. A right-wing student, Otoya Yamaguchi, rushed the stage with a samurai sword and fatally attacked Socialist Party Chairman Inejiro Asanuma.
Nagao, unlike other photographers whose view was blocked, managed to capture the exact moment of the attack, showing the shock on Asanuma’s face and the rage in Yamaguchi’s expression. This powerful image earned him the Pulitzer Prize in 1961.
