FIGURE 10.1  Northeast near the town of Midori, Japan, bushes in a field mark an old property line that was offset to the left about 10 feet (3 meters) during the earthquake in 1891. The old road at the left side of the field also was offset to the left to the position marked by the seismologist standing on the rocks. The fault extends from the center of the right side of the photo to the seismologist’s feet. The fault motion in 1891 also uplifted the road about 7 feet (2 meters). See plate 14.
