 note = {A destructive earthquake of M6.0 on the Richter scale occurred at 18km east away from Niigata city in flat paddy field of the Niigata plain. The epicenter was so shallow at 10km deep that 55 houses were completely collapsed and 165 houses were half collapsed, but no one died. The distribution of seismic intensity was analyzed by the rotatory moment calculated from overturned rectangular gravestones. The vertical acceleration at the epicenter was encountered as fairly larger than the acceleration of gravity. The seismic intensity 6 on the scale of the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) covered an area of 5.2×1 km trending NNE-SSW, which may indicate the distribution of the buried ruptured fault beneath the plain. This destructive earthquake actually came true at the eastern margin of the seismic gap, which might be a precursor of a strong destructive earthquake, soon, as predicted by Mogi (1988), Ishikawa (1990,1994) and Ohtake (1994). Special attention for the impending earthquake disaster should be required in the Niigata area, soon.},
