1703 Genroku Earthquake
The occurred at 02:00 local time on December 31 (17:00 December 30 UTC). The epicenter was near Edo, the forerunner of present-day Tokyo, in the southern part of the Kantō region, Japan. An estimated 2,300 people were killed by the destruction and subsequent fires. The earthquake triggered a major tsunami which caused many additional casualties, giving a total death toll of at least 5,233, possibly up to 200,000. Genroku is a Japanese era spanning from 1688 through 1704. Tectonic setting The Kantō Region lies at the complex triple junction, where the convergent boundaries between the subducting Pacific and Philippine Sea plates and the overriding North American and Eurasian plates meet. Earthquakes with epicenters in the Kanto region may occur within the Eurasian plate, at the Eurasian plate/Philippine Sea plate interface, within the Philippine Sea plate, at the Philippine Sea plate/Pacific plate interface or within the Pacific plate.

1707 Hōei Earthquake
The struck south-central Japan at around 13:45 local time on 28 October. It was the largest earthquake in Japanese history until it was surpassed by the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake. It caused moderate-to-severe damage throughout southwestern Honshu, Shikoku and southeastern Kyūshū. The earthquake, and the resulting destructive tsunami, caused more than 5,000 casualties. This event ruptured all of the segments of the Nankai megathrust simultaneously, the only earthquake known to have done this, with an estimated magnitude of 8.6 or 8.7 . It possibly also triggered the last eruption of Mount Fuji 49 days later. Tectonic setting The southern coast of Honshu runs parallel to the Nankai Trough, which marks the subduction of the Philippine Sea plate beneath the Eurasian plate. Movement on this convergent plate boundary leads to many earthquakes, some of them of megathrust type. The Nankai megathrust has five distinct segments (A-E) that can rupture independently.

Hisai Domain
was a feudal domain under the Tokugawa shogunate of Edo period Japan, located in Ise Province in former Hisai town (now part of the modern-day city of Tsu, Mie Prefecture). It was centered around Hisai ''jin'ya''. Hisai Domain was a sub-domain of Tsu Domain ruled by a cadet branch of the Tōdō clan. History Under Tōdō Takatora, Tsu Domain had a ''kokudaka'' of 323,000 ''koku''. However, in 1669 on the retirement of his son Tōdō Takatsugu, 50,000 ''koku'' of his holdings were split off to allow his second son Tōdō Takamichi to establish a cadet branch of the clan. This was done to provide an alternate line of succession, in the event that the main lineage of the clan failed to provide a male heir, and to thus avoid the possibility of attainder, which was a constant concern for the '' tozama daimyo''. Although Hisai Domain was styled as a "castle-holding domain", Tōdō Takamichi was not permitted to build a Japanese castle, but had to be content with a ''jin'ya'', or ...
