  Ansei@Everything2.com
Literally "Relaxed Governance," Ansei was the 239th nengo, or Imperial reign-name era, in the Japanese calendar, but it was anything but relaxed.
The shogunate responded by elevating the ruthless Ii Naosuke to the position of Grand Chancellor, and Naosuke took decisive action by conducting the Ansei Purge, cleansing the government of all sonno joi and court sympathizers.
Naosuke thus briefly arrested the decline of the shogunate's power, but in 1860, as the Ansei period drew to a close, he was assassinated by agents of Mito domain, a sonno joi hotbed, just outside the gates of Edo Castle.

 Magnitude and Location of Historical Earthquakes in Japan and Implications for the 1855 Ansei Edo Earthquake
Using the subduction-plate model, the location of the intensity center is 16 kilometers southeast of the epicenter, Mjma is 7.6, and MJMA is 7.3 to 7.9 at the 1σ confidence level.
Intensity assignments and reported aftershock activity for the enigmatic 11 November 1855 Ansei Edo earthquake are consistent with an MJMA 7.2 Philippine Sea-Honshu interplate source (or a Philippine Sea intraslab source) at about 30 kilometers depth.
If the 1855 earthquake was a Philippine Sea-Honshu interplate event, the intensity center was adjacent to and downdip of the rupture area of the 1923 Great Kanto earthquake, suggesting that the 1855 and 1923 events ruptured adjoining sections of the Philippine Sea–Honshu plate interface.
