## Famous Places of Edo (A Collection of Disaster Puns)

This is a collection of comic wordplay (*jiguchi*/puns) using famous Edo place names. Each place name serves as the punchline to a humorous remark about disasters (fires and earthquakes). The humor relies on the phonetic overlap between the place name and a key word in the phrase.
