The epicenter of the w y 6.9 earthquake was located in Gifu Prefecture and its focal depth was estimated at 15 km. There were at least 41 fatalities and over 1,000 homes destroyed. A 1.8 m ft high tsunami was also recorded in Lake Biwa. Earthquake The earthquake may have occurred on the Tsurugawan-Isewan Tectonic Line, a major fault trending generally northwest–southeast in central Japan. The fault zone comprises five active fault segments that trend northwest–southeast and west-northwest–east-southeast. Its northern strand, the Kaburagi Fault, runs along the edge of Tsuruga Bay and joins the Yanagase Fault to its south. A bend towards the east–southeast separates the fault from the Sekigahara Fault. The earthquake likely ruptured the central portion of the Sekigahara Fault. A possible precursor event sequence may have begun ten years before the mainshock as "notable earthquakes" occurred along an area between Tsuruga Bay and Ise Bay. The damage area from the earthquake was considered smaller than expected for its magnitude. The fault zone also contains two additional segments; the Yoro and Isewan faults; the latter is considered a branch of the Japan Median Tectonic Line.Kanaori Yuji Kawakami Shin-ichi Yairi Kenji Niwa Shunji A sequence of destructive earthquakes and the coupling of fault systems in central Japan Engineering Geology 1994 37 167-180 10.1016/0013-7952(94)90054-X The Sekigahara Fault produces reverse and left-lateral strike-slip movement.Yanagase-Sekigahara fault zone ja:柳ヶ瀬・関ヶ原断層帯 ja https://www.jishin.go.jp/regional_seismicity/rs_katsudanso/f061_062_yanagase_sekigahara/ Headquarters for Earthquake Research Promotion 3 June 2024 Impact Forty-one people died and at least 784 were injured.
