Group Kyūshū is an avant-garde art collective, formed in 1957 in the city of Fukuoka and active until the late 1960s. The group, whose composition fluctuated over time, had about 20 members that participated in several exhibitions in Fukuoka and Tokyo, produced a journal (Kyūshū-ha) relating their activity and their ambition and organized multiple performances and exhibitions in Fukuoka. Most of the members had no art education and located far from the nerve center of contemporary art that was Tokyo, therefore their local anchoring was intended to make the social institution of art more stable in Fukuoka and expand the art-practicing population. Kyūshū-ha aspired to repudiate modernism and reinterpret art. In its embrace of seikatsu-sha, or ordinary people who honestly live their everyday lives (seikatsu), it sought, as a collective, to create a dynamic movement (undō) that combined artistic and social innovation. This social ambition is representative of the social and political climate of the time and the birth of the labor union movement that was particularly vivid in the Fukuoka area, in which some members of the group participated. Stylistically, the artists of Kyūshū-ha experienced the shock of the gestural Art Informel in 1956–57, and toward and into the 1960s they shifted from expressionistic Informel painting to objet-based three-dimensional works that incorporated readymade everyday objects. Their aesthetic, violent even nihilistic works, as well as their iconoclastic theoretical ambition brings them in line with the Anti-Art movement (Han-geijutsu), having notably exhibited in Yomiuri Independent, a hotbed of this trend. Despite their attempt to broaden their visibility, notably by emphasizing their regional and decentralized ambitions, the group never received the popular attention they had hoped for. Similarly, despite some critical attention, the uneven and unprofessional nature of their practices prevented them from founding a sustainable movement. Their first major experimentation with Happenings failed in 1962, and the group soon lost its collective unity, leading to the group's dissolution in the late 1960s.

The Malayan Security Service (MSS) was the domestic intelligence service of colonial Malaya and Singapore from 1939 to 1948. It was established to replace and centralize the operations of the individual intelligence agencies of the Federated Malay States and Straits Settlements under one, Pan-Malayan organization for the entire Peninsular. It was modeled closely after the MI5, the United Kingdom’s domestic counter-intelligence service, in that it was primarily tasked with information gathering and had no executive powers to detain or arrest. It was distinct and separate from the Criminal Investigational Division Branches (CID) of the Malayan or Singapore Police.
