AAM-2, any information about it?

I found a few things within the forum and in a Google search I found nothing beyond the Wikipedia article with superficial information; it's an interesting project since it was based on the AIM-4 Falcon.

A pretty good article with a drawing and lots of photos: https://forum.warthunder.com/t/aam-2-father-of-aam-3/91843

Not AAM-2 per se, but some info on Japanese AAMs ....

From what’s known, it was basically Japan’s early attempt at a domestic air-to-air missile, heavily influenced by (or derived from) the AIM-4 Falcon. It didn’t really progress far or see widespread use, which is probably why info is so limited.
Most references just mention it as a developmental step before later Japanese AAMs that were more successful.

Is there no Japanese museum with more information?
