On the night of the 2nd day of the 10th month of Ansei 2 (1855), Year of the Rabbit, around the Hour of the Boar (approximately 10 PM), a great earthquake struck from the southeast direction, causing major destruction within a four-ri radius of Edo. Fires broke out in various places and spread, with casualties and fatalities beyond description. However, that very night, relief meals were distributed to the destitute people from the town magistrate's office, so those who survived did not go hungry. This was truly the benevolent grace of a peaceful era, a most grateful thing.
Furthermore, relief huts were constructed for those who became destitute and homeless, and meals were distributed three times daily at the following locations:

Generally, from Naka-no-chō in all four directions within the quarter, everything burned without exception. The notice board outside the Great Gate and the same side remained, while the opposite side burned completely. At Nihon Embankment, the ground of the thoroughfare cracked. Within the quarter, not a single storehouse remained unshaken and collapsed, and with fires on top of that, the injured and dead were beyond counting.

However, north of Morita Kanya's residence in the 3rd district remained.
