In this paper, materials about past metrological disasters occurred in the Taishaku-kyō area are made public.
From 2011 to 2012, I studied past meteorological disasters that occurred in the area and the results were published in the Bull. Dep. Archaeol. No. 4, March 2012.
Although I moved out of Hiroshima Prefecture, I have been taking care of materials related to the study - for example letters and papers, I got from people living in the area - at home. This fact has prevented people concerned with past disasters or the history of the area from conducting research. Therefore, concerning the materials I secured letters of consent from the donors living in the area and published an inventory and images of the sources.
