		Faulting during the 1923 Kanto earthquake was interpreted as reverse, right-lateral faulting on a low-angle plane along the the Sagami Trough, the plate boundary between the northeastern edge of the Philippine Sea plate and the southeastern edge of the Eurasian plate (Figure 1).
		The coseismic elastic deformations produced by the Kanto earthquake are described by geodetic triangulation and leveling measurements by the Military Land Survey [1930].
		Although the planar fault approximation may be a simplification of the true rupture surface, it is consistent with the geometry of the Pacific and Philippines Sea plates beneath the Kanto District as determined by Ishida (1992) on the basis of the regional seismicity, focal mechanisms, and seismic velocity structure.

		The damage caused directly by the earthquake itself, by the violent shaking of the ground, tended to be most pronounced in places where the soil was not underlay with substantial bedrock.
		These killings were fueled by rumors that Koreans resident in the Kanto area had risen up, and were carrying out acts of arson, rape and the poisoning of wells.
		The government's response to these rumors, at least initially, was to facilitate their spread, to organize and in some instances to arm local vigilante groups, and to instruct them to take whatever measures were necessary to protect their communities.
