    Matsushima Bay as an Early Holocene coastal mega-landslide, Northeast Japan Shuichi Hasegawa (Kagawa University, Japan) Timihiro Sawada (Sawa Soft Science, Japan) Ranjan Kumar Dahal (Kagawa University, Japan and Tribhuvan University, Nepal) Atsuko Nonomura (Kagawa University, Japan) Minoru Yamanaka (Kagawa University, Japan) Abstract. Matsushima, a group of island at Matsushima Bay visited both Matsushima and Kisakata. He composed three in Miyagi Prefecture, northeast Japan, is one of the three haiku poems for Kisakata, but he could not express his famous scenic spots of Japan. It is composed of more than excitement in a haiku poem for Matsushima. 200 islands in Matsushima Bay and the islands just out into Matsushima and Matsushima Bay have long been the sea. Topographically Matsushima Bay suddenly breaks considered as a typical submerged coast, but they are inferred the gently concaved coastline from Sendai Bay to Ishinomaki to have been formed by a coastal mega-landslide in middle Bay. Matsushima and Matsushima Bay have been considered Holocene age from geological and topographical inferences. as a typical submerged coast, but they are inferred to have been formed by a coastal mega-landslide in middle Holocene age from geological and topographical evidences. Keywords. Mega-landslide, Holocene, Jomon transgression, Active fault, topography 1. Introduction Mega-landslides due to volcanic activities and earthquakes have caused severe damage to the surrounding areas. Sector collapse of volcanoes is one of the most destructive landslides. Debris avalanche deposits from a sector collapse generally form strange topography punctuated by hundreds of small hills, ridges and closed depressions. The 1792 Mayuyama sector collapse of Unzen volcano in Kyushu, southern Japan, caused debris avalanche which flowed through ancient Shimabara City and entered the sea.

    岩 石鉱 物鉱 床学 会誌 60巻4号, 1968年 STUDIES ON THE GENESIS OF METALLIC MINERAL DEPOSITS OF SHIN JO AND YAMAGATA BASINS, NORTHEASTERN JAPAN (I) NORITSUGU OIZUMI Mining Division Prefectuval Governient of Yamagata The present structural set up of the Shinjo and Yamagata basins which are situated within the Inner Region, Northeastern Japan, is a result of repeated uplift and submergence coupled with igneous activity and sedimentation during the early stage of the Neogene. Those structur es formed as a result of uplift of the basement are the major faults and fissures parallel to the N-S trend of the present axis of the Basement Rise and the subordinate faults and fissures trending E-W and perpen dicular to that axis Those formed as a result of folding of the sedimentary rocks are the NNW-SSE trending structures of northern Shinjo Basin, the N-S trending structures of southern Shinjo Basin, the N-S trending structures of northern Yamagata Basin, and the NNE-SSW trending structures of southern Yamagata Basin. These structures include the fold axes and the faults and fissures parallel to them. In addition to these structures produced by folding of the sedimentary rocks, are the subordinate faults and fissures trending WNW and NE-SW to ENE. The crushed zones within these fractures were produced by an E-W lateral compression, which also produced exceedingly abundant E-W trending tension fractures, The NNE-SSE trending fissures adhere closely to these fractures caused by lateral compression. The individual ore deposits present within the two basins amount to a total of more than 300 ore deposits.

Almost all are Japanese terms. The dictionary can be used in the ordinary way if the Shintō term you want to look up is already in Japanese (e.g. kami rather than ‘deity’) and has a main entry in the dictionary. If, as is very likely, the concept or word you want is in English such as ‘pollution’, ‘children’, ‘shrine’, etc., or perhaps a place-name like ‘Kyōto’ or ‘Akita’ which does not have a main entry, then consult the comprehensive Thematic Index of English and Japanese terms at the end of the Dictionary first.

This road was the only road between Shonai and the inland area. It was a precipitous mountain road from Tsuruoka city to Yamagata city passing over Matsune, Juo-toge, Oami, Sainokami-toge, Tamugimata and Oguki-toge, then going through Shizu, Hondoji and Sagae. It is said to have existed already in ancient times, but it is not clear when this road was opened. The oldest theory says that this road was opened as a governmental road connecting the Dewa Kokufu government which was located in Fujishima town (now Tsuruoka city) and the county offices of the Mogami and Okitama areas. But there are many other theories as well.
