三月二十四日の夜の大地震より、犀川は日々減水し、丹波島の船渡しは一箇所となった。傍らの裾花川は常にこの川に流れ込んでいるが、これもまた日々減水し、諸川が漸々減水して、ついに丹波島の渡し場を歩いて渡れるようになった。そのため川中島の村々は恐怖し慌てふためいて、東南は妻女山・有明山の麓、海津城南、おおよそ河東の山麓で膝を容れる所もなく小屋を営み、あちこちに退避して出水を待った。ところが三月二十八日の暁七つ時、裾花川の上流、鬼無里村の内川浦の塞がった所の湛水が即時に押し切れて犀川に流れ出たものの、特に異常なことはなかった。この川上の山中、地京原村・藤沢組・梅本村・城の越・大田組・居折村・荒井村が皆潰れて、念

仏寺村の臥雲院は転倒して谷に落ち、焼失の上、土中に埋まった。丹波島船渡しの川上、更級・水内両境の赤岩・岩倉山が数十丈の深谷を埋め、また安庭村が二箇所で山抜けし、同じ流れを塞ぐこと数日、水が湛えたため、新町・穂刈・牧の島をはじめ数十ヶ村が水中に沈んだ。民家は漣に漂い、深谷に至って蕩々たる水面は八九里に及んだ。海津公より検査があって、水没した村の窮民を賑給した。なお川中島の村々に命じて石俵をもって土堤を新築させ、急災を除かせた。民家はそれぞれ最寄りを頼って、西は小松原山・岡田山、東は西條山・保科山・有明山、または野中に仮屋を営み、老人を優先して

From the great earthquake on the night of March 24th, the Sai River decreased daily, and the ferry crossing at Tanba Island became limited to one location. The nearby Susohana River, which normally flows into this river, also decreased daily, and as all rivers gradually diminished, it finally became possible to walk across the ford at Tanba Island. Therefore, the villages of Kawanakajima were terrified and panic-stricken, and in the southeast at the foothills of Mount Tsumajo and Mount Ariake, south of Kaizu Castle, and generally at the foothills east of the river, there was no room even for a knee, so they built huts and retreated to various places to wait for the flood waters. However, at the seventh hour of dawn on March 28th, the stagnant water at the blocked location of Kawaura within Kinasa Village upstream of the Susohana River immediately burst through and flowed into the Sai River, though there was nothing particularly unusual about this. In the mountains upstream of this river, the villages of Jikyōhara, Fujisawa-gumi, Umemoto, Shiro-no-koshi, Ōta-gumi, Iori, and Arai were all destroyed, and Nen-

The Gaunin temple in Nenbutsuji village toppled and fell into the valley, and after being burned, was buried in the earth. Upstream from the Tanba Island ferry crossing, at the border between Sarashina and Minochi, the red rocks and Mount Iwakura filled deep valleys of several tens of jō, and Aniwa village experienced landslides in two locations, blocking the same waterway for several days. Due to the accumulated water, dozens of villages including Shinmachi, Hokari, and Maki-no-shima were submerged. Private houses drifted on the ripples, and in the deep valleys the vast water surface extended eight to nine ri. There was an inspection by the lord of Kaizu, who provided relief to the destitute people of the submerged villages. Furthermore, he ordered the villages of Kawanakajima to construct new earthen embankments using stone-filled straw bags to prevent urgent disasters. Each household relied on their nearest locations - to the west Mount Komatsubara and Mount Okada, to the east Mount Saijō, Mount Hoshina, and Mount Ariake, or built temporary shelters in the fields, prioritizing the elderly.
