About This Item
1847. Illustrative map with text, depicting the ravages of the earthquake that struck the Nagano region in 1847. Two woodblock prints are linked together, total dimensions 26.5x17.75 inches. Dated Kōka year 4, 28th day of the 5th month (new edition). Right side is mounted on a sheet of modern generic card stock. The rolling hills and shifting alignment of the text contribute to a tumbling effect, appropriate for this record of an earthquake. Among the burning structures and tiny figures shown running about, we see a temple receiving divine protection - this is Zenkō-ji (善光寺, Temple of the Benevolent Light).
