(霊岸寺の)末寺および浄心寺の境内も大きく損じた。これより寺町辺りは、ただでさえ非常に物の匂いが悪く感じられるところへ、犬猫の溺死した骸が流れ集まり、肉が腐れ、水が引いて日を経るにしたがい、臭気が鼻を突いたとのことである。猿江・海辺大工町はことごとく大破した。永代橋の向こう、佐賀町辺りの諸方が損じた。仲町辺りの遊女屋仮宅では、佐の槌屋・大の字屋が大いに潰れ、そのほかも壁を抜き、屋根を壊し、家が傾いてことごとく大破した。八幡宮境内では、相州(相模国)江の島弁才天の開帳場の仮屋ならびに奉納物の見せ物小屋がことごとく倒れ、また流失した。弁才天の御厨子は八幡宮の本殿へ移し申し上げた。境内の橋が一か所落ちて流れた。新地・蛤町では潰れた家が多く、木場・土橋・入船町この辺りは高潮に流され、風に潰れ、ことごとく大破した。洲崎弁天の境内では掛け茶屋がことごとく吹き散り、大木の松が倒れた。門前の橋が落ちて流れ、川端の家はことごとく潰れ、所々大破した。
◯ この頃、誰の作とも知れないが、風向き(台風)のさまを口説きとやらいう唄に綴った

文句の中に、次のようなものがある。
〽深き深川、平一面に、風と水とに流るる人は、苦しさが町、助ける人を、待つが町、とても森下町に、茂る枝葉はみな吹き折れて、家の崩れは大島町よ。海の中町、土橋は落ちて、表矢倉や飛ぶ裏矢倉。花のくるわの弁天様も、ここをお旅の仮宅住まい、玉の開帳、甲斐なき仕末。家も流れの里とはいえど、稚子が淵より苦界の淵の、水の深さは六尺やしき、はまる首丈、身を打ち込んで、蔵も住み処も木場材木も、泣いて別れの八幡鐘の、音も無常の突き出し新地。あとは洲崎と長堀町よ、長い寿命の亀久町に、よわい重ねる万年町も、弥陀の浄土の西長町へ、幾世橋とはありあけ橋に、消ゆる灯火、減る油。

The sub-temples (of Reiganjii) and the grounds of Jōshinji were also greatly damaged. The area around temple town (*teramachi*), already known for its unpleasant odors, was now made worse by the accumulation of the drowned carcasses of dogs and cats, their flesh rotting, and as the water receded and the days passed, the stench became piercing to the nostrils. Sarue and Umibe Daiku-chō were entirely devastated. Various places around Saga-chō, on the far side of Eitaibashi Bridge, were damaged. In the licensed quarter's temporary residences (*karitaku*) around Naka-chō, the establishments known as "Sa no Tsuchiya" and "Dai no Jiya" were largely destroyed, while others had their walls blown out, their roofs broken, and their buildings tilted—all suffering severe damage. Within the grounds of the Hachimangū shrine, the temporary structures housing the special exhibition of the Enoshima Benzaiten (from Sagami Province), as well as the booths for dedicated votive offerings and shows, all toppled over and were washed away. The sacred shrine cabinet (*ozushi*) of Benzaiten was transferred for safekeeping to the main hall of the Hachimangū. One bridge within the shrine grounds collapsed and was swept away. In Shinchi and Hamaguri-chō, many houses collapsed. In the area of Kiba, Dobashi, and Irifune-chō, houses were swept away by the storm surge and crushed by the wind, suffering total devastation. At the Susaki Benzaiten shrine precincts, the tea stalls (*kake-jaya*) were all blown to pieces, and a great pine tree was toppled. The bridge before the gate collapsed and was carried away; houses along the riverbank were entirely destroyed, with damage throughout.
◯ Around this time, someone—it is not known who—composed a piece in the style of a *kudoki* (a narrative lament-song), setting down an account of the storm's path in verse. Among its lines were the following:
**[Left page]**
〽 The deep, deep Fukagawa, a flat expanse, the people swept away by wind and water— how agonizing the town [*kurushisa ga machi*], waiting for someone to help [*matsu ga machi*]; yet in Morishita-chō, every flourishing branch and bough has been blown and broken off. The houses have crumbled—that is Ōshima-chō. In the middle of the sea-town [*umi no naka-machi*], the Dobashi Bridge has fallen; the front watchtower flies up, the rear watchtower too. Even the Benzaiten of the flower quarter has come here on her travels to take temporary residence—a jeweled public display, what a futile, wretched end. Though they call it a village of drifting homes, deeper than children's pools are the depths of suffering [*kukai no fuchi*]: the water is six *shaku* deep upon the estate grounds, submerging one up to the neck, driving one's body under; warehouses, dwellings, timber from the lumberyards—all parted from with tears to the tolling of the Hachiman bell. That sound, too, marks the impermanence of the newly established Tsukidashi Shinchi. What remains are Susaki and Nagahori-chō; the town of long life, Kamehisa-chō; the town of accumulated years, Mannen-chō; westward toward the Pure Land of Amida, Nishinaga-chō; what is called Ikuyo Bridge is now Ariake Bridge— the lamp flame gutters out, the oil runs dry.
