Nor was it the most destructive earthquake to affect the city of Edo: in terms of magnitude, the Genroku earthquake of 31 December 1703 was perhaps thirty times as powerful.2 The Ansei earthquake, however, laid waste or damaged severely large portions of Edo, the commercial, cultural, and printing capital of its day no less than the shogunal capi- tal, and achieved a notoriety far greater than the more destructive, but provincial, Shinano earthquake of 1847 or Tókaid6 earthquakes of 1854.
