Anti-American feeling in Japan reached its zenith in the spring of 1954 This was due to an accident arising out of the American hydrogen bomb test in the Bikini area at the beginning of March. In the middle of that month, a fishing vessel came in from the Pacific to a small port some thirty miles from Tokyo. The captain reported that he and the twenty-two members of the crew were suffering ill effects from a shower of ashes, the fall-out from the Bikini explosion. They were found to be suffering from serious radiation sickness, and their catch - such of it as had not already been sold and distributed - was condemned, after inspection, as being dangerously radio-active. The popular reaction was one of momentary panic. It was known that some of the affected fish had been sent to places as distant as Niigata and Kagoshima; and as the fish was tuna, which is cut up and sold in very small portions, many inhabitants of those cities wondered whether they would long survive. People feared that all the fish in the Pacific, through some process of chain reaction, would become radioactive and unfit to eat. From one end of the country to the other fishmongers reported a drastic slump in sales; and the Japanese are perhaps the greatest fish eaters of any race in the world. The scare was universal and genuinely felt.
