Seismic Japan
The Long History and Continuing Legacy of the Ansei Edo Earthquake
What are we to make of contemporary newspapers in Japan speculating about the possible connection between aquatic creatures and earthquakes? Why did Japan's government spend taxpayer money to observe catfish in aquariums as part of its mandate to fund earthquake prediction research? These actions are legacies of the 1855 Ansei Edo earthquake. In his investigation of the science, politics, and lore of seismic events in Japan, Gregory Smits examines this earthquake in a broad historical context.
