Abstract
This paper investigates the difference and similarity of the damages in Tokyo caused by the Earthquake Ansei Edo, 1855 and the Great Kanto, 1923. The results obtained may be summarised as follows. On the Earthquake Ansei Edo, the large damages of houses, storehouses and temples are all caused at the east part of Tokyo. From this point of view, it is found that on the regional differences of damages, we must take account of not only the ground constitution but also the effect of the epicentral distance.
