Framed Print of The Great KantO earthquake (関東大震災 KantO daishinsai)
The Great KantO earthquake (関東大震災 KantO daishinsai) struck the KantO Plain on the Japanese main island of HonshU at 11:58 in the morning on Saturday, September 1, 1923. Varied accounts indicate the duration of the earthquake was between four and 10 minutes. The 2011 TOhoku earthquake later surpassed that record, at magnitude 9.0.
The earthquake had a magnitude of 7.9 on the Moment magnitude scale (Mw), with its focus deep beneath Izu oshima Island in the Sagami Bay. The cause was a rupture of part of the convergent boundary where the Philippine Sea Plate is subducting beneath the Okhotsk Plate along the line of the Sagami Trough.
This earthquake devastated Tokyo, the port city of Yokohama, and the surrounding prefectures of Chiba, Kanagawa, and Shizuoka, and caused widespread damage throughout the KantO region. The power was so great in Kamakura, over 60 km (37 mi) from the epicenter, it moved the Great Buddha statue, which weighs about 93 short tons (84, 000 kg), almost two feet.
Estimated casualties totaled about 142, 800 deaths, including about 40, 000 who went missing and were presumed dead. The damage from this natural disaster was the greatest sustained by prewar Japan. In 1960, the government declared September 1, the anniversary of the quake, as an annual Disaster Prevention Day'.
According to the Japanese conclusive report, 105, 385 deaths were confirmed in the 1923 quake
