**大坂の大津波**

十一月五日、午後四時頃（七ツ時）より大地震が起き、それより午後五時頃（七ツ半時）から沖で鳴動し始め、まるで法螺貝を吹くような轟音が市中に響き渡り、何事かとみな不思議に思っていたところ、それより暮れ六ツ時（午後六時頃）に至り、二丈（約6メートル）ほどの大波が押し寄せてきた。その勢いは並大抵ではなく、大船・小船が数艘、道頓堀川へ押し上げられ、その数は知れない。大船は凡そ三百艘ほど、小船は（数えきれないほど）。大船に押しつぶされ崩れた船もあり、また帆柱が折れたものもあり、船頭・水主（かこ）の行方が知れないものもあり、死人・怪我人の数は甚だ多い。その船によって橋がたたき落とされ、往来の群衆が川中へ橋もろともに落ち込む様は、誠に恐ろしく哀れといいようもない。道頓堀川の筋・吉橋・からかね橋・幸橋・住吉橋のいずれもが数えきれないほど大船のために落ちた。また金屋橋は中ほどが折れてくぼんだ。ただし大黒橋まで大小合わせて数艘が押し寄せた。

また、町々の人々は以前より地震を恐れ、逃げようと、茶船・上荷三千石などを仕立て、老人・女子ども多くが乗っていたところへ、右の（津波で押し寄せた）船が突っ込み、数多くの人が乗りかかっている船を打ち砕いたため、「助けてくれ」と泣き叫び、手を合わせて拝む様は、哀れ至極の次第であった。もちろん助けたいと思えども、その水勢がひどく、なかなか近寄ることもできず、やむなく見殺しになってしまうことも是非なき次第であった。

堀江川では黒金橋・水分橋がこの所（道頓堀）と同様の状態であった。長堀では高橋が両方（両岸）で少し残り、真中が崩れた。立売堀には船二、三十艘が押し寄せた。阿波堀も同断（同様）。それより雑喉場の近辺でも船が数多く崩れ、人に若干の被害あり。寺島辺りでは死人が浜手の岸に打ち上げられることが夥しかった。安治川も同じく。亀井橋が落ちた。船の損傷は少なし。天保山は損傷した者なし。各所の新田・木津川は大きな損傷あり。すべて死人が幾人かということは、なかなか測りがたい。怪我人は最も多い。この度の騒動は（言葉では）とても尽くしがたい大変事・大変事・大変事であった。

**The Great Tsunami in Osaka**

From around 2:00 PM on the 5th day of the 11th month (Seven-tsu, or "seventh bell"), a great earthquake struck, and from around 3:00 PM (Seven-and-a-half bells), the sea offshore began to roar, producing a fearsome sound like a conch shell being blown, which echoed throughout the city. People wondered with great puzzlement what was happening, and then from around 6:00 PM (Kure-Mutsu, "evening sixth bell"), waves of approximately two jō (roughly 6 meters, or about 20 feet) in height came crashing in with extraordinary force. Large and small boats numbering in the hundreds were pushed up into the Dōtonbori River—the total number was beyond count. About three hundred large boats alone were swept in, and the smaller boats were (too numerous to count). Many boats were crushed and broken by the large vessels; some had their masts snapped; the whereabouts of some ship captains and crew members became unknown; and there were very many dead and injured.

Moreover, the boats demolished the bridges, and crowds of people on the bridges fell together with them into the river—a truly terrifying and pitiful scene. On the Dōtonbori River, Yoshibashi, Karakanebashi, Sachi-bashi, and Sumiyoshi-bashi all fell, overwhelmed by the large boats. The middle section of Kanaya-bashi also broke and caved in. Large and small boats were pushed as far as Daikoku-bashi.

Furthermore, the townspeople, already frightened by the earthquake, had arranged teaboats and large cargo vessels to escape with the elderly, women, and children, who were aboard in great numbers. When the tsunami-driven vessels crashed into these boats, smashing them with their many passengers, the cries of "Please help us!" and the clasped hands of those praying for rescue were utterly heartrending. Of course, rescuers wished to help, but the force of the water was so violent that it was impossible to get close, and there was no choice but to watch helplessly as people perished—a truly lamentable state of affairs.

On the Horie River, Kurogane-bashi and Mizuwake-bashi suffered the same fate as the Dōtonbori. On the Nagahori Canal, the high bridge (Takabashi) partly survived on both banks but collapsed in the middle. Twenty to thirty boats were swept into the Tateuribori canal. Awa-bori suffered similarly. In the Zakoba area, many boats were destroyed and a number of people were killed. In the Terajima area, a great number of bodies were washed ashore on the beach. The Ajikawa River suffered likewise. Kameibashi collapsed. Damage to boats was relatively minor. No one at Tenpozan was harmed. New reclaimed lands and the Kizu River suffered great damage throughout. The total number of dead is quite impossible to estimate. The injured were extremely numerous. This great upheaval was beyond all words to describe—a catastrophe of the highest order.

**Shima Province (Ise-Shima) · Toba**

From around 8:00 AM on the 4th day of the 11th month (Five-tsu), a great earthquake caused collapses in various places. On the 5th day, around 3:00 PM (seven-and-a-half bells), another great earthquake struck, followed by a great tsunami. About sixty percent of the samurai residences were swept away; about eighty percent of the townspeople's areas collapsed or were swept away; the remaining twenty percent suffered damage. Across the entire province of Shima, there was not a single place left unscathed—truly Japan's greatest devastation. The death toll was estimated at over ten thousand, though this could not be confirmed; the number of missing was also beyond count. The magnitude of shaking was approximately two shaku (about 60 cm).

---

**Kii Province (Kishū)**

On the same day and at the same time, a great earthquake and great tsunami caused the river mouth to be swept away; about 300 or more people perished.

All surviving structures were damaged. The number of collapsed areas within the town districts is beyond count; other details are too numerous to record with a brush.

---

**Yokkaichi**

From the morning of the 11th month at five-tsu (8:00 AM), a major earthquake struck, with approximately fifty or more buildings affected.

Twelve villages in the surrounding area suffered half-collapses; deaths were relatively few. Shaking: one shaku five sun (about 45 cm).

---

---

**Inner Harima Province (Oku-Banshū)**

In the Katō District, Kurishino area, a great earthquake caused four-tenths of the buildings to collapse; the number of damaged houses is unknown. Other villages were in the same situation as Osaka.

---

**Izumi Province (Senshi), Sakai**
