==Earthquake==
The ''[[SS Dongola]]''{{'s}} captain reported that, while he was anchored in Yokohama's inner harbor:

{{Blockquote|At 38;098 a.m. ship commenced to tremble and vibrate violently and on looking towards the shore it was seen that a terrible earthquake was taking place, buildings were collapsing in all directions and in a few minutes nothing could be seen for clouds of dust.

This earthquake devastated [[Tokyo]], the port city of [[Yokohama]], and the surrounding prefectures of [[Chiba Prefecture|Chiba]], [[Kanagawa Prefecture|Kanagawa]], and [[Shizuoka Prefecture|Shizuoka]], and caused widespread damage throughout the Kantō region. The earthquake's force was so great that in [[Kamakura, Kanagawa|Kamakura]], over {{convert|60|km|abbr=on}} from the epicenter, it moved the [[Kōtoku-in|Great Buddha]] statue, which weighs about 121 tonnes, almost 60 centimetres.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Theosakamainichi-earthquakepictorialedition-1923-b2-page35.jpg|title=English: THIS IS AN IMAGE THAT IS PART OF A RAW IMAGE COLLECTIONGreat care should be taken to remove whitespace and captions before using these in a Wiki project.

The damage from this natural disaster was one of the greatest sustained by [[Empire of Japan|Imperial Japan]]. In 1960, on the 37th anniversary of the quake, the government declared September 1 an annual "Disaster Prevention Day".

=== Damage and deaths ===
Because the earthquake struck when people were cooking meals, many were killed as a result of large fires that broke out. Fires started immediately after the earthquake.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Gulick |first1=Sidney L. |title=The Winning of the Far East: A Study of the Christian Movement in China, Korea, Japan |url=https://archive.org/details/winningoffareast00guli |date=1923 |publisher=George H.

Many people died when their feet became stuck on melting [[Tarmacadam|tarmac]]. The single greatest loss of life was caused by a [[fire whirl]] that engulfed the Rikugun Honjo Hifukusho (formerly the Army Clothing Depot) in downtown Tokyo, where about 38,000 people were incinerated after taking shelter there after the earthquake. The earthquake broke [[water mains]] all over the city, and putting out the fires took nearly two full days until late in the morning of September 3.<ref>{{cite book|title=Fire Following Earthquake|year=2005|publisher=ASCE, NFPA|location=Reston, Virginia|isbn=978-0-7844-0739-4|url=http://www.asce.org/Product.aspx?id=2147485909&productid=5362|editor-last=Scawthorn|editor2-last=Eidinger|editor3-last=Schiff|access-date=2012-07-26|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130928111244/http://www.asce.org/Product.aspx?id=2147485909&productid=5362|archive-date=2013-09-28|url-status=dead}}</ref>[[File:Desolation of Nihonbashi and Kanda after Kanto Earthquake.jpg|thumb|Desolation of [[Nihonbashi]] and [[Kanda, Tokyo|Kanda]] seen from the Roof of Dai-ichi Sogo Building|left|400x400px]]

A strong [[typhoon]] centered off the coast of the [[Noto Peninsula]] in [[Ishikawa Prefecture]] brought high winds to [[Tokyo Bay]] at about the same time as the earthquake. These winds caused fires to spread rapidly.

The [[Emperor Taishō|Emperor]] and [[Empress Teimei|Empress]] were staying at [[Nikkō, Tochigi|Nikko]] when the earthquake struck Tokyo, and were never in any danger.<ref name="nyt1">{{cite news|url=https://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=FB0F12FE3E5416738DDDAA0894D1405B838EF1D3|title=Yokohama is Practically Destroyed|newspaper=[[The New York Times]]|date= September 3, 1923}}</ref> American Acting [[Consul General]] Max David Kirjassoff and his wife Alice Josephine Ballantine Kirjassoff died in the earthquake.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.jta.org/1923/09/06/archive/brother-thinks-consul-kirjassoff-may-be-alive|title=Brother Thinks Consul Kirjassoff May Be Alive|date=September 6, 1923}}</ref> The consulate itself lost the entirety of its records in the subsequent fires.<ref>{{Cite archive|collection=United States Consular Records for Yokohama, Japan, 1923 - 1941|institution=National Archives and Records Administration|item=Correspondence American Consulate In Yokohama 1931 Vol. 5 File Number 131-600|page=10|item-url=https://catalog.archives.gov/id/79322859|item-id=79322859}}</ref>

Many homes were buried or swept away by [[landslide]]s in the mountainous and hilly coastal areas in western [[Kanagawa Prefecture]]; about 800 people died. A collapsing mountainside in the village of Nebukawa, west of [[Odawara]], pushed the entire village and a passenger train carrying over 100 passengers, along with the railway station, into the sea.

The [[RMS Empress of Australia (1919)|RMS ''Empress of Australia'']] was about to leave Yokohama harbour when the earthquake struck. It narrowly survived and assisted in rescuing 2000 survivors. A [[P&O (company)|P&O]] liner, [[SS Dongola|''Dongola'']], was also in the harbour at the moment of disaster and rescued 505 people, taking them to [[Kobe]].<ref>[http://www.poheritage.com/Upload/Mimsy/Media/factsheet/93060DONGOLA-1905pdf.pdf Ship Fact Sheet Dongola (1905)] at poheritage.com, accessed 9 May 2020</ref>

[[File:Marunouchi after the Great Kanto Earthquake.JPG|thumb|[[Marunouchi]] in flames]]

A [[tsunami]] with waves up to {{convert|10|m|abbr=on}} high struck the coast of [[Sagami Bay]], [[Bōsō Peninsula]], [[Izu Islands]], and the east coast of [[Izu Peninsula]] within minutes. The tsunami caused many deaths, including about 100 people along Yui-ga-hama Beach in [[Kamakura, Kanagawa|Kamakura]] and an estimated 50 people on the [[Enoshima]] causeway. Over 570,000 homes were destroyed, leaving an estimated 1.9 million homeless. Evacuees were transported by ship from Kantō to as far as [[Kobe]] in Kansai.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/1923/09/09/archives/all-ships-aiding-relief.html "All Ships Aiding Relief"].

[[Vigilante]] groups set up roadblocks in cities, and tested civilians with a [[shibboleth]] for supposedly Korean-accented Japanese: deporting, beating, or killing those who failed. Army and police personnel colluded in the vigilante killings in some areas.

Director Chongkong Oh made two documentary films about the [[pogrom]]: ''Hidden Scars: The Massacre of Koreans from the Arakawa River Bank to Shitamachi in Tokyo'' (1983) and ''The Disposed-of Koreans: The Great Kanto Earthquake and Camp Narashino'' (1986). They largely consist of interviews with survivors, witnesses and perpetrators.{{Citation needed|date=October 2017}}

The importance of obtaining and providing accurate information following natural disasters has been emphasized in Japan ever since. Earthquake preparation literature in modern Japan almost always directs citizens to carry a portable radio and use it to listen to reliable information, and not to be misled by rumors in the event of a large earthquake.

Japanese commentators interpreted the disaster as an act of divine punishment to admonish the Japanese people for their self-centered, immoral, and extravagant lifestyles. In the long run, the response to the disaster was a strong sense that Japan had been given an unparalleled opportunity to rebuild the city, and to rebuild Japanese values. In reconstructing the city, the nation, and the Japanese people, the earthquake fostered a culture of catastrophe and reconstruction that amplified discourses of moral degeneracy and national renovation in interwar Japan.<ref>J.

Parks were placed all over Tokyo as refuge spots, and public buildings were constructed with stricter standards than private buildings to accommodate refugees. The outbreak of World War II and subsequent destruction severely limited resources.

An explanation is the decline of waste disposal, which became particularly serious in the northern and western districts when traditional methods of waste disposal collapsed due to urbanization. The 1923 earthquake led to record-high morbidity due to unsanitary conditions following the earthquake, and it prompted the establishment of antityphoid measures and the building of urban infrastructure.<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Nagashima | first1 = Takeshi | year = 2004 | title = Sewage Disposal and Typhoid Fever: the Case of Tokyo 1912–1940 | journal = Annales de Démographie Historique | volume = 2 | issue = 1| pages = 105–117 | doi = 10.3917/adh.108.0105 }}</ref> The [[Honda Point Disaster]] on the West Coast of the [[United States]], in which seven [[United States Navy|US Navy]] destroyers ran aground and 23 lives were lost, has been attributed to navigational errors caused by unusual currents set up by the earthquake in Japan.<ref>{{citation|publisher=Naval History and Heritage Command, U.S. Department of the Navy|year=2002|title=Honda Point Disaster, 8 September 1923|url=http://www.history.navy.mil/library/online/honda.htm|access-date=24 May 2014|archive-date=8 November 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131108032918/http://www.history.navy.mil/library/online/honda.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref> ==Memory== Beginning in 1960, every September 1st is designated as Disaster Prevention Day to commemorate the earthquake and remind people of the importance of preparedness, as August and September are the peak of the typhoon season.

Every year on this date, schools across Japan take a moment of silence at the precise time the earthquake hit in memory of the lives lost.

In ''[[Japan Sinks]]'', in one scene in the book, due to the fast-moving subduction of the Pacific and Eurasian plates, the Sagami Trough ruptures in a magnitude-8.5 earthquake, killing several million people in Tokyo and other areas, causing major tsunamis, and creating major [[firestorm]]s. In the film adaptation of ''Japan Sinks'', [[Nihon Chinbotsu (1973 film)|''Nihon Chinbotsu'']], the Sagami Trough ruptures in a massive earthquake called "The Second Great Kanto Earthquake". In the manga (comic) adaptation of ''Japan Sinks'', the Second Kantō Earthquake killed over five million. In the [[historical fantasy]] novel ''[[Teito Monogatari]]'' ([[Hiroshi Aramata]]) a supernatural explanation is given for the cause of the Great Kantō earthquake, connecting it with the principles of [[feng shui]]. In [[Oswald Wynd]]'s novel ''[[The Ginger Tree]]'', Mary Mackenzie survives the earthquake, and later bases her clothes designing company in one of the few buildings that remained standing in the aftermath. In ''[[Tokyo Magnitude 8.0]]'', the Sagami Trough ruptures in a magnitude-8.0 earthquake, killing over 200,000 in Tokyo, causing floods and fires, and putting the main character at risk. [[Go Nagai]]'s manga ''[[Violence Jack]]'' is set in a scenario in which a gigantic earthquake called 'The Great Kanto Hellquake', reminiscent of the 1923 earthquake, devastates Tokyo and severs the Kanto region from the rest of Japan, as well as cutting it off from the outside world. [[Waki Yamato]]'s manga ''[[Haikara-san ga Tōru]]'' actually reaches its climax after the Great Kantō earthquake—which happens right before the wedding of the female lead, Benio Hanamura, and her second love Tousei. Benio barely survives when the Christian church she's getting married in collapses, and then she finds her long-lost love Shinobu whose other love interest Larissa is among the victims; they get back together, and Tousei allows them to. In Makiko Hirata's [[josei manga]] and anime ''Kasei Yakyoku'' the story finishes some time after the earthquake, as a corollary to the main love triangle between the noblewoman Akiko Hashou, her lover Taka Itou, and Akiko's personal maid Sara Uchida. The earthquake happens just as the marriage between Akiko and her fiancé Kiyosu Saionji is announced. Sara is in the streets, and Taka is taking Sara's brother Junichirou to a hospital after he was injured in a yakuza-related incident. The Hashou's mansion is destroyed, leading to an emotional confrontation between Akiko and Saionji; meanwhile, Sara's humble house in the suburbia is also destroyed and her and Junichirou's mother dies of injuries she sustained in the earthquake.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.technogirls.org/barbara/anime/kasei.htm|title=Nightsong of Splendor — Kasei Yakyoku| access-date= 11 December 2011 <!--DASHBot-->}}</ref> [[Michiyo Akaishi|Michiyo Akaishi's]] josei manga ''Akatsuki no Aria'' features the earthquake in volume 8. Several places frequented by the protagonist Aria Kanbara, like her boarding school and the house of the rich Nishimikado clan that she is an illegitimate member of, become shelters for the wounded and the homeless. Aria's birth mother is severely injured by debris and later dies, and this triggers a subplot about Aria's own heritage. In the 2013 animated film by director [[Hayao Miyazaki]], ''[[The Wind Rises]]'', the protagonist [[Jiro Horikoshi]] is traveling to Tokyo by train to study engineering. On the way, the 1923 earthquake strikes, damaging the train and causing a huge fire in the city. In [[Yuu Watase|Yuu Watase's]] 2017 josei manga ''[[Fushigi Yûgi Byakko Senki]]'', the heroine Suzuno Osugi enters ''The Universe of the Four Gods'' for the first time right after the earthquake: her father Takao, who is dying from injuries he suffered when the family house fatally collapsed on him and Suzuno's mother Tamayo, orders her to do so, so she will survive the disaster and its aftermath. After a brief time there, she's sent back to the already destroyed Tokyo and she, alongside her soon-to-be love interest Seiji Horie and two young boys named Hidero and Kenichi, are taken in by a friend of the late Takao, Dr. Oikawa. Part of the story in the anime and manga versions of [[Taisho Otome Fairy Tale]] happened during the earthquake. At that time Yuzuki was in Tokyo visiting a friend, causing Tamahiko to worry, and follow her to Tokyo. ==See also== {{Portal|Tokyo}} * [[1293 Kamakura earthquake]] * [[1703 Genroku earthquake]] * [[Amakasu Incident]] * [[List of earthquakes in 1923]] * [[List of earthquakes in Japan]] * [[List of megathrust earthquakes]] ==Notes== {{Reflist|30em}} ==References and further reading== {{refbegin}} * Aldrich, Daniel P.

Japanese commentators interpreted the disaster as an act of divine punishment to admonish the Japanese people for their self-centered, immoral, and extravagant lifestyles. In the long run, the response to the disaster was a strong sense that Japan had been given an unparalleled opportunity to rebuild the city, and to rebuild Japanese values. In reconstructing the city, the nation, and the Japanese people, the earthquake fostered a culture of catastrophe and reconstruction that amplified discourses of moral degeneracy and national renovation in interwar Japan.<ref>J.

Parks were placed all over Tokyo as refuge spots, and public buildings were constructed with stricter standards than private buildings to accommodate refugees. The outbreak of World War II and subsequent destruction severely limited resources.

[[File:Clouds of conflagration caused by Great Kanto earthquake.JPG|thumb|The [[fire cloud]]s over Kantō, as seen from some distance away.]] In contrast to [[London]], where [[typhoid fever]] had been steadily declining since the 1870s, the rate in Tokyo remained high, more so in the upper-class residential northern and western districts than in the densely populated working-class eastern district. An explanation is the decline of waste disposal, which became particularly serious in the northern and western districts when traditional methods of waste disposal collapsed due to urbanization. The 1923 earthquake led to record-high morbidity due to unsanitary conditions following the earthquake, and it prompted the establishment of antityphoid measures and the building of urban infrastructure.<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Nagashima | first1 = Takeshi | year = 2004 | title = Sewage Disposal and Typhoid Fever: the Case of Tokyo 1912–1940 | journal = Annales de Démographie Historique | volume = 2 | issue = 1| pages = 105–117 | doi = 10.3917/adh.108.0105 }}</ref> The [[Honda Point Disaster]] on the West Coast of the [[United States]], in which seven [[United States Navy|US Navy]] destroyers ran aground and 23 lives were lost, has been attributed to navigational errors caused by unusual currents set up by the earthquake in Japan.<ref>{{citation|publisher=Naval History and Heritage Command, U.S. Department of the Navy|year=2002|title=Honda Point Disaster, 8 September 1923|url=http://www.history.navy.mil/library/online/honda.htm|access-date=24 May 2014|archive-date=8 November 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131108032918/http://www.history.navy.mil/library/online/honda.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref> ==Memory== Beginning in 1960, every September 1st is designated as Disaster Prevention Day to commemorate the earthquake and remind people of the importance of preparedness, as August and September are the peak of the typhoon season.

Every year on this date, schools across Japan take a moment of silence at the precise time the earthquake hit in memory of the lives lost.

In ''[[Japan Sinks]]'', in one scene in the book, due to the fast-moving subduction of the Pacific and Eurasian plates, the Sagami Trough ruptures in a magnitude-8.5 earthquake, killing several million people in Tokyo and other areas, causing major tsunamis, and creating major [[firestorm]]s. In the film adaptation of ''Japan Sinks'', [[Nihon Chinbotsu (1973 film)|''Nihon Chinbotsu'']], the Sagami Trough ruptures in a massive earthquake called "The Second Great Kanto Earthquake". In the manga (comic) adaptation of ''Japan Sinks'', the Second Kantō Earthquake killed over five million. In the [[historical fantasy]] novel ''[[Teito Monogatari]]'' ([[Hiroshi Aramata]]) a supernatural explanation is given for the cause of the Great Kantō earthquake, connecting it with the principles of [[feng shui]]. In [[Oswald Wynd]]'s novel ''[[The Ginger Tree]]'', Mary Mackenzie survives the earthquake, and later bases her clothes designing company in one of the few buildings that remained standing in the aftermath. In ''[[Tokyo Magnitude 8.0]]'', the Sagami Trough ruptures in a magnitude-8.0 earthquake, killing over 200,000 in Tokyo, causing floods and fires, and putting the main character at risk. [[Go Nagai]]'s manga ''[[Violence Jack]]'' is set in a scenario in which a gigantic earthquake called 'The Great Kanto Hellquake', reminiscent of the 1923 earthquake, devastates Tokyo and severs the Kanto region from the rest of Japan, as well as cutting it off from the outside world. [[Waki Yamato]]'s manga ''[[Haikara-san ga Tōru]]'' actually reaches its climax after the Great Kantō earthquake—which happens right before the wedding of the female lead, Benio Hanamura, and her second love Tousei. Benio barely survives when the Christian church she's getting married in collapses, and then she finds her long-lost love Shinobu whose other love interest Larissa is among the victims; they get back together, and Tousei allows them to. In Makiko Hirata's [[josei manga]] and anime ''Kasei Yakyoku'' the story finishes some time after the earthquake, as a corollary to the main love triangle between the noblewoman Akiko Hashou, her lover Taka Itou, and Akiko's personal maid Sara Uchida. The earthquake happens just as the marriage between Akiko and her fiancé Kiyosu Saionji is announced. Sara is in the streets, and Taka is taking Sara's brother Junichirou to a hospital after he was injured in a yakuza-related incident. The Hashou's mansion is destroyed, leading to an emotional confrontation between Akiko and Saionji; meanwhile, Sara's humble house in the suburbia is also destroyed and her and Junichirou's mother dies of injuries she sustained in the earthquake.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.technogirls.org/barbara/anime/kasei.htm|title=Nightsong of Splendor — Kasei Yakyoku| access-date= 11 December 2011 <!--DASHBot-->}}</ref> [[Michiyo Akaishi|Michiyo Akaishi's]] josei manga ''Akatsuki no Aria'' features the earthquake in volume 8. Several places frequented by the protagonist Aria Kanbara, like her boarding school and the house of the rich Nishimikado clan that she is an illegitimate member of, become shelters for the wounded and the homeless. Aria's birth mother is severely injured by debris and later dies, and this triggers a subplot about Aria's own heritage. In the 2013 animated film by director [[Hayao Miyazaki]], ''[[The Wind Rises]]'', the protagonist [[Jiro Horikoshi]] is traveling to Tokyo by train to study engineering. On the way, the 1923 earthquake strikes, damaging the train and causing a huge fire in the city. In [[Yuu Watase|Yuu Watase's]] 2017 josei manga ''[[Fushigi Yûgi Byakko Senki]]'', the heroine Suzuno Osugi enters ''The Universe of the Four Gods'' for the first time right after the earthquake: her father Takao, who is dying from injuries he suffered when the family house fatally collapsed on him and Suzuno's mother Tamayo, orders her to do so, so she will survive the disaster and its aftermath. After a brief time there, she's sent back to the already destroyed Tokyo and she, alongside her soon-to-be love interest Seiji Horie and two young boys named Hidero and Kenichi, are taken in by a friend of the late Takao, Dr. Oikawa. Part of the story in the anime and manga versions of [[Taisho Otome Fairy Tale]] happened during the earthquake. At that time Yuzuki was in Tokyo visiting a friend, causing Tamahiko to worry, and follow her to Tokyo. ==See also== {{Portal|Tokyo}} * [[1293 Kamakura earthquake]] * [[1703 Genroku earthquake]] * [[Amakasu Incident]] * [[List of earthquakes in 1923]] * [[List of earthquakes in Japan]] * [[List of megathrust earthquakes]] ==Notes== {{Reflist|30em}} ==References and further reading== {{refbegin}} * Aldrich, Daniel P.
