英語訳
It appears that Mount Asama in Shinano Province began erupting in the latter part of last month, and by the current month the activity has become particularly intense. At my domain in the Nanoka-ichi territory of Kōzuke Province, volcanic ash (yakesuna) had been falling in small amounts from time to time, but from the night of the 6th, violent tremors were felt without interruption, and volcanic ash and volcanic rocks continued to fall. As night fell on that same day, the activity grew even stronger, and ash accumulated to a depth of five to six sun. From midday of that day, conditions became as dark as night, and volcanic ash and tremors had not yet ceased — this has been reported to us by retainers stationed at the domain, and we hereby submit this preliminary report. Further details will be investigated and reported in due course. End.

1. A copy of the letter sent to inform us that Lord Torigoe Tanba-no-kami has submitted a report to the Senior Councilor on Duty, Lord Tanuma Tonoshonokami. In Lord Tanba-no-kami's domain of Mibu in Shimotsuke Province, from the 6th to the following 7th, repeated tremors were felt in the western direction, accompanied by rumbling sounds, and small amounts of ash mixed with sand fell intermittently. Then on the 8th, in five villages within the western portion of Tsuga District in the same province that fall under his domain, and in villages within Yūki District, Sashima District, and Katsushika District of Sōshū (Kazusa/Shimōsa), ash fell and accumulated to depths ranging from two to three sun up to five to six sun, causing damage to crops in some locations. Regarding the standing crops, a report is to be submitted following the harvest. As we have received notice that said report is to be submitted on the 17th, we have made a copy here.
