Abstract

  • The Sanriku Coast, facing the Pacific Ocean in the northern part of the Tohoku region of Japan, has suffered tsunami damage each time there has been a major earthquake (the Sanriku earthquake on March 2, 1933; the Valdivia, Chile, earthquake on May 22, 1960 [the tsunami reached Japan on May 23‒24]; the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011; and others). Sanriku daikaishō iwateken engan kenbunshi ippan (Observations of the Sanriku tsunami off the Iwate Prefecture coast) is a report of the earthquake and tsunami damage caused by the Meiji Sanriku Earthquake that occurred on June 15, 1896, off the coast of Iwate Prefecture (the center of the Sanriku Coast). The author, Yamana Sōshin (1847‒1909), was a leading figure in Tōno-machi in Iwate Prefecture. As a result of his own proposals to Iwate Prefecture after the earthquake, he was delegated to study the damage in 191 settlements along the prefecture's Pacific Coast between July and September. Yamana wrote several reports based on his research, of which the document shown here is one. It describes the damage in Iwate Prefecture as a whole as well as in four counties and 37 towns and villages on the Pacific Coast. It contains maps of the damaged areas and statistical information, such as the number of houses, boats, and size of population before the earthquake; the number of fatalities, injuries, and damaged and washed-away houses, boats, and pieces of fishing gear; the height of the tsunami; and breakdowns by locality. The maps indicate the sea and rivers in blue, fields and hilly areas that escaped flooding in red and green, flooded areas in yellow, houses and streets in red, and the direction of the tsunami with arrows. The report shows, for example, that 18,158 people died in Iwate Prefecture; that in the town of Tarō 1,867 people died out of a total population of 2,248 (Tarō also was damaged in the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake), and that most of the residential areas were flooded. Because it provides detailed information on historical damage, this document is valued by researchers of the history of natural disasters.(en)

    日本の東北地方北部太平洋岸にある三陸海岸 は、昭和三陸地震(1933年3月3日) 、チリ地震 (1960年5月22日〔5月23日~5月24日に津波到達〕)、そして東北地方太平洋沖地震(東日本大震災。2011年3月11日) など、大地震のたびに津波被害を受けてきた。本書は、1896年6月15日に発生した明治三陸地震 における、岩手県沿岸部(三陸海岸の中心部)の地震と津波の被害をまとめた報告書である。 著者の山奈宗真(1847~1909)は岩手県遠野町の有力者で、地震後、岩手県に建議し、その委嘱を受けて、7月から9月にかけて、岩手県の太平洋沿岸に位置する191の集落の被害状況を調査した。山奈は、調査に基づき数種の報告書を作ったが、本書もその一つで、岩手県全体・岩手県の太平洋沿岸に位置する4郡及び同じく37町村の単位で被害状況を記している。被災前の家数・人口・船数、地震・津波による死者数・負傷者数、家・船・漁業道具などの破損数・流出数、津波の高さ、集落毎の内訳などの数値情報と、被災地図が掲載されている。地図は、海や川を青で、浸水を免れた畑地と山野を赤と緑で、浸水地域を黄色で塗り、家屋の所在地や道路を赤線で、津波の侵入方向を矢印で示す。 たとえば、岩手県内では18,158人の死者が出たこと、東日本大震災で被災した田老村はこの時も2,248人の住民のうち1,867人が死亡し、住宅地の多くが浸水したことなどが分かる。 過去の被災状況が詳細に判明するため、災害史の研究者に貴重視される資料である。
