We examined values and applications of earthquake and tsunami stone monuments in Tokushima. The results of the study are as follows; (1) the purposes of stone utilization were to hand down records and lessons of earthquake and tsunami to posterity for its "presence", "conspicuousness" and "durability". (2) We recognized three cultural values of earthquake and tsunami stone monuments in Tokushima such as academic material, disaster prevention education material and disaster cultural asset. (3) We found that about 70% of earthquake and tsunami stone monuments in Tokushima have problems of their location and decipherment, and "teaching" function decreased remarkably. On the other hand, some stone monuments signs of their locations and/or explanations in modern Japanese were newly set up. (4) We collected the application cases of the earthquake and tsunami stone monuments in local municipals, areas and primary and junior high schools.
