Yamash!ta's gold, also referred to as the Yamash!ta treasure, is
the name given to an urban legend of alleged loot stolen in
Southeast Asia by Japanese forces during World War II and hidden in
caves, tunnels and underground complexes in the Philippines. The
number, size and value of the loot troves in the Philippines are
unknown.
The "gold" reportedly included many different kinds of valuables
looted from banks, depositories, temples, churches, other
commercial premises, mosques, museums and private homes. It takes
its name from General Tomoyuki Yamash!ta, who assumed command of
Japanese forces in the Philippines in 1944.
According to various accounts, the loot was initially concentrated
in Singapore, from where it was later relayed to the
Philippines.[2] The Japanese hoped to ship the treasure from the
Philippines to the Japanese home islands after the war ended. As
the Pacific War progressed, Allied submarines and aircraft
inflicted increasingly heavy losses on Japanese merchant shipping.
Some ships carrying loot back to Japan were sunk.
Some historians have argued that looting was organized on a massive
scale, by both yakuza gangsters such as Yoshio Kodama, and the
highest levels of Japanese society, including Emperor Hirohito.[3]
The Japanese government intended that loot from Southeast Asia
would finance Japan's war effort. It is alleged that Hirohito
appointed his brother, Prince Chichibu, to head a secret
organization called Kin no yuri ( "Golden Lily" ), for this
purpose.
