On August 6, 1966, Sat
wrote that Hirohito had “scolded” him “for letting the press write so much about the appointments to the Supreme Court. I am truly struck with awe. I also apologised to him for the Tanaka Sh
ji incident.” Tanaka, a LDP Diet member, had used his position on the Lower House Audit Committee to extort millions of yen in a land deal. Two months later Sat
again apologized to Hirohito for the misconduct of two other ministers of state. See
