Followings are all what I know about the atomic bomb development in Japan.
During the war, Japanese scientists knew theoretical possibility of the atomic bomb but they thought it impossible to produce during the 20th century. When the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, they soon understood what they were and astonished at the much more advanced American technology that they were never able to run up so soon. That fact, however, would have inspired their scientific curiousity for further study and development though they had lost chance to do so when Japan was defeated in August, 1945.
When I was a student of a local technical college in the 1970s, one of my senior students told me that a professor of F(sorry my memory is uncertain if it was F or I) university which was located in the northern part of Japan had ever built up an experimental atomic bomb in his laboratory around 1950 to disassemble it soon. It was an inside story being kept told by professor to professor and to students but no one doubted it because scientists always want to test his knowledge.
That is all! Sorry if it was not interesting
