The Great Kantō earthquake of 1923 is remembered as one of the most terrifying calamities in Japan’s history. Registering at a magnitude of 7.9, it struck on 1 September at 11.58am as households were lighting their stoves for lunch. Fires whipped across densely populated Tokyo and Yokohama; more than 140,000 died and 700,000 were left homeless. A year later, Japanese publishing house Shōnen Gahōsha commissioned a series of prints based on eyewitness sketches and accounts.
