△何某侯の家中の人が、在勤にて本所辺の屋敷に住んでいた。然るに十月二日の朝、気になることがあり、重役某に示して言うには、「今朝、井戸の水が濁り、潮の気（塩気）がある。これは必ず大地震の兆しである。預けておいた荷物をお渡しいただきたい。地震の際、土蔵は頼りになりがたい。ご用心なさるがよい」と言った。重役はひそかに嘲り笑いながらも、その荷物を渡したので、これを受け取って帰り、さらにまた同役やその他の人々に大地震があるだろうということを告げた。誰もが笑って、「そんなことがあるものか」などと言って取り合わなかった。ところがその夜、果たして大地震があり、重役の土蔵は揺れ崩れ、前言が的中した。嘲り笑った人々は恥じ入った。幸いにして火災は逃れられたが、もし火難があれば一物も残るところはなかったであろう。ああ、危ないことよ、危ないことよ。
亀戸に住む玉蘭斎は、今度の急変を逃れ、同所天神川の堤より江戸の方を見ると、四方遠近に火災が起こり、家・蔵・瓦等の崩れる音は再び震動するかと思われるほどで、諸人に安き心もない様子を、見るままに写真（写生）したものを、ここに出す。

△ Along the same Teramachi thoroughfare: Jōshinji temple had its outer gate (*omotemon*) and inner gate (*nakamon*) destroyed; the stone signboard at the gate entrance toppled and broke; three structures within the precinct (*tatchū*) and the ablution pavilion (*temizusha*) collapsed; other damage was also sustained. The main hall (*hondō*) and the Patriarch's Hall (*soshidō*) were unharmed. △ In the same area, Reiganj temple had its outer gate and all precinct buildings utterly destroyed, with extensive damage throughout. In the same area, Manshōji, Zentokuji, Shinkōji, Giuunji, and other temples also suffered major damage. Among the foregoing, the number of cases in which stone lanterns, memorial steles, and the like at various temples toppled and broke was exceedingly great.
㊄ In the same area, Isezaki-chō 1-chōme and 2-chōme burned down.
△ To the east, the Susaki Benten Shrine was undamaged, though the monks' quarters and teahouses within its precincts were damaged. △ In the Rokumantsubo area: the lower residences of Lord Hosokawa, Lord Ogasawara, and Lord Sagami, and the middle residences of Lord Hayashi, Lord Masuyama, and Lord Dewa suffered damage. To the north of the same area: Ishijima-chō, the lower residence of Lord Hitotsubashi, the lower residence of Lord Honda Buzen, the middle residence of Lord Ōkubo Sado, the lower residence of Lord Higo, and the lower residence of Lord Toda Inaba — all of these quarters saw extensive damage to both samurai residences and commoners' houses, with many collapsed buildings. In Hachizaemon Shinden in the same area, many commoners' houses collapsed. Throughout Suna-mura, Kametaka, Ōtsuka, Sakasai, and extending to Motohachiman and along the Onagigawa waterway, there were many collapsed houses. △ To the east, in Ichinoe Village, eighty-six houses collapsed. The extent of damage in other areas should be understood by analogy with the above.

△ A certain retainer of a certain lord (*nanigashi-kō*) was residing in a residence near Honjo while on duty rotation (*zaikin*). On the morning of the second day of the tenth month, having noticed something that concerned him, he went to a senior official (*jūyaku*) and said: "This morning the water in the well is turbid and has a briny taste. This is surely an omen of a great earthquake. Please return the goods I have left in your keeping — in the event of an earthquake, a storehouse (*dozō*) cannot be relied upon. Please take care." The senior official secretly laughed him to scorn, but nonetheless returned the goods. The man received them and returned home, and further went on to inform his colleagues and others that a great earthquake would occur. Everyone laughed and said things like, "How could such a thing happen?" — and paid him no heed. Yet that very night, a great earthquake did indeed strike. The senior official's storehouse crumbled in the shaking, and the man's earlier words proved exactly correct. Those who had mocked him were filled with shame. Fortunately, they escaped the fires — but had a conflagration broken out, not a single thing would have remained. Ah, how perilous, how perilous indeed!
Gyokuransai, a resident of Kameido, having escaped the sudden calamity, looked toward Edo from the embankment of the Tenjingawa River in the same area. Fires were breaking out near and far in every direction; the sounds of houses, storehouses, and roof tiles collapsing were such that one might have thought another tremor had struck. Seeing the state of the people — none with any peace of mind — he sketched the scene exactly as it appeared before him, and that sketch is presented here.
