英語訳
Same as above — ash accumulated to a depth of four to five sun.
1. Along the main highway, from Sakamoto Post Town to Usui Pass, ash has accumulated to approximately four to five shaku in places, rendering the road completely impassable.
1. In Sakamoto Post Town, most farmhouses have had their roofs broken through, making them uninhabitable. Residents have erected makeshift shelters of stone and small lean-to structures, and are currently living in these.
1. Farmhouses completely collapsed: 21 buildings
(Including those along the main highway)
1. Same, half-collapsed: 4 buildings
(Same as above)
1. Shrine official residences completely collapsed: 3 buildings
1. The administrative office and the notice board (kosatsu-ba) within the castle grounds, and other facilities, have suffered no particular damage.
The situation is as described above. As the road through Usui Pass remains impassable, it has not been possible to ascertain all the details; therefore, further particulars regarding that area will be reported at a later date. The villages within Gunma District have received a lighter ashfall than the general affected area. Whether the standing crops may recover from their damaged state, or whether the rest is entirely lost, remains unclear. As this has been reported to us by retainers stationed in the domain, we hereby submit this preliminary report. End.
