  • Geological Record of Prehistoric Tsunamis in Mugi Town, Facing The
    Shimada et al. Progress in Earth and Planetary Science (2019) 6:33 Progress in Earth and https://doi.org/10.1186/s40645-019-0279-9 Planetary Science RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Geological record of prehistoric tsunamis in Mugi town, facing the Nankai Trough, western Japan Yumi Shimada1,3* , Shigehiro Fujino2, Yuki Sawai3, Koichiro Tanigawa3, Dan Matsumoto3, Arata Momohara4, Megumi Saito-Kato5, Masaki Yamada6, Eri Hirayama1, Takahiro Suzuki1 and Catherine Chagué7 Abstract Stratigraphic and paleontological investigations in Mugi Town, on the Pacific coast of Shikoku Island, revealed evidence of as many as five tsunami inundations from events along the Nankai Trough between 5581 and 3640 cal yr BP. Nine event deposits (E1–E9) were identified in cores ranging in length from 2 to 6 m, consisting of sandy and gravelly layers interbedded with organic-rich mud. Sedimentary structures in the event deposits observed by computed tomography included normal grading and sharp lower stratigraphic contacts. Event deposits E3, E6, E7, and E8 contained mainly brackish-marine diatom species, suggesting that they had been deposited during inundation by seawater. In addition, fossil diatom assemblages were markedly different above and below event deposits E3, E4, E6, and E8. For example, assemblages below event deposit E6 were dominated by a freshwater species (Ulnaria acus), whereas assemblages above it were predominantly brackish-marine (Diploneis smithii, Fallacia forcipata,andFallacia tenera). We attributed these changes to the increase of marine influence due to coastal subsidence associated with subduction-zone earthquakes, as documented in the 1946 Showa-Nankai earthquakes. We conclude that event deposits E3, E6, and E8 and perhaps E4 and E7 were deposited by tsunamis generated by subduction zone earthquakes along the Nankai Trough.

  • Pilgrimage to the 88 Temples of Shikoku Island: a Bibliography of Resources in English
    Pilgrimage to the 88 Temples of Shikoku Island: A Bibliography of Resources in English Naomi Zimmer LIS 705, Fall 2005 The most widely known work in English about the Shikoku pilgrimage is undoubtedly Oliver Statler’s 1983 book Japanese Pilgrimage , which combines a personal account of Statler’s pilgrimage in Shikoku with substantial background and cultural information on the topic. The University of Hawaii’s Hamilton Library Japan Collection houses Statler’s personal papers in the Oliver Statler Collection , which includes several boxes of material related to the Shikoku pilgrimage. The Oliver Statler Collection is an unparalleled and one of a kind source of information in English on the Shikoku pilgrimage. The contents range from Statler’s detailed notes on each of the 88 temples to the original manuscript of Japanese Pilgrimage . Also included in the collection are several hand-written translations of previous works on the pilgrimage that were originally published in Japanese or languages other than English. The Oliver Statler Collection may be the only existing English translations of many of these works, as they were never published in English. The Collection also contains several photo albums documenting Statler’s pilgrimages on Shikoku taken between 1968 and 1979. A Pilgrimage to the 88 Temples in Shikoku Island (1973) is likely the earliest example of an English-language monograph on the specific topic of the Shikoku pilgrimage. This book, written by the Japanese author Mayumi Banzai, focuses on the legendary priest Kobo Daishi (774-835 A.D.) and the details of his association with the Shikoku pilgrimage. The books A Henro Pilgrimage Guide to the Eighty-eight Temples on Shikoku, Japan (Taisen Miyata), Echoes of Incense: a Pilgrimage in Japan (Don Weiss), The Traveler's Guide to Japanese Pilgrimages (Ed Readicker-Henderson), and Tales of a Summer Henro (Craig McLachlan) are all more recent personal accounts offering a less scholarly and more practical “guidebook” look at the pilgrimage.

    GENETIC STRUCTURE OF HUMAN POPULATIONS III. DIFFERENTIATION OF ABO BLOOD GROUP GENE FREQUENCIES IN SMALL AREAS OF JAPAN* MASATOSHI NEI and YOKO IMAIZUMI Division of Genetics, National Institute of Radiological Sciences, Chiba, Japan Receivedii .xii.65 1.INTRODUCTION INa previous paper (Nei and Imaizumi, 1966a) it was shown that the local differentiation of ABO and MitT blood group gene frequencies in Japan has occurred largely by genetic random drift. In that investi- gation the population of Japan was divided into 45 different sub- populations or Prefectures (administrative units of Japan) the sizes of which were mostly one to two millions. However, the size of mating groups of neighbourhoods in Wright's (1946) sense appears to be much smaller than the sub-populations employed in the paper. It is, there- fore, expected that the gene frequencies are locally differentiated even within these sub-populations. We thus examined the degree of differ- entiation of ABO blood group gene frequencies in several small areas of Japan. 2.DIFFERENTIATION WITHIN PREFECTURES Thereare two Prefectures, in which the local variation of ABO blood group gene frequencies can be analysed. One is Kagoshima Prefecture in Kyushu Island and the other Tokushima Prefecture in Shikoku Island (cf fig. i in Nei and Imaizumi, 1966a). The data on the former were collected by Ono and Takagi (1942) and Makisumi (1958), and those on the latter by Katayama (i) and Minamibuchi (i). The areas of Kagoshima and Tokushima Prefectures are 9,104 km2 and 4,143 km2 respectively, both including several neighbouring small islands. The population sizes of these two Prefectures at the time of 1960 census are 1,962,998 and 847,279 respectively.
