On behalf of Japan ICOMOS, I would like to take this opportunity again to express our deepest grati tude and appreciati on to you all. There have been many enquiries from all over the world about the state of damage to cultural heritage in Japan due to the unfolding events. Accordingly, with the cooperati on of the Agency for Cultural Aff airs, Japan ICOMOS issued on 22nd March 2011 a fi rst immediate report regarding the state of Important Cultural Properti es designated by the Government, and sent it to the ICOMOS headquarters, as well as making it public on the Japan ICOMOS website.

By this liquefaction, serious damage including the cutoff of the lifeline, the destruction of the house basics and the nonequivalent subsidence occurred. The liquefaction damage taken up by the news was a small portion. Then we carried out a local survey for the purpose of catching perspective of the liquefaction damage in the Tone river basin. It was almost the artificial ground where filled up pond and river that intense liquefaction was seen. The ground hazard by liquidizing was known from of old. It was recognized again to cause an extensive ground hazard by liquidizing in this earthquake. It is thought that liquidizing is generated by the earthquake in the future again. Next, we compared our data with the liquefaction locations, the geomorphologic classification of the regions, seismic intensity distribution, and liquefaction probability value in the Kanto district in the report published by the Committee for Analysis of Liquefaction in the off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake, chaired by the author and organized by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.
