英語訳
The volcanic ash accumulated to a depth of three to four sun (about 9-12 cm), and from around noon on the 7th, it became dark as night. The rumbling did not cease and the ash fell even more heavily, causing five townhouses in the castle town to collapse. On the 8th at the hour of the Monkey (around 2-4 PM), the Tone River suddenly flooded, and volcanic stones rushed into the rice paddies and fields, but soon the water level returned to normal. Fortunately, there were no problems within the castle, and there were no injuries to people or horses. This report came from my retainers in the territory, so I am first reporting this matter. I will submit a detailed report later. The above.
