英語訳
It is reported that Mt. Asama in Shinano Province erupted, and since the end of last month there have been tremors. In the territory of Yada in Kōzuke Province under my domain, from around the 5th to the 8th of this month, volcanic sand and stones rained down and accumulated to a depth of about three sun [approximately 9 cm]. As this was reported to me by the retainers stationed in that area, I hereby submit this notification. That is all.
14th day of the 7th month
The contents of the above document were reported to Lord Tanuma Tonomo-no-kami, the Lord on Duty [Goyōban] for this month, exactly as written, without the slightest discrepancy. There will likely be further detailed petitions and notifications hereafter, but as it is quite difficult to put everything into writing, I have copied only the summary reports submitted in haste. Thinking this might serve as a tale for generations to come, I quickly made this copy, sparing no paper or brush.

Kyōka [Comic Verses] Composed in Edo
Ash falls outside, fire rains within—
(the price of rice)
One wanders lost at the crossroads of six to [a measure].
How alarming is Asama, rising higher than Fuji—
(the price of rice)
That fire rains down on Edo, and sand falls too.
