This book clarifies the climatic variations in Japan from the
historical period to the present based on documentary sources and
meteorological data. Japanese society has suffered from various
kinds of natural disasters since ancient times, such as floods and
high tides caused by torrential rainfall and strong winds. They
were described in large numbers of historical documents including
official local weather diaries. However, all these documents were
written in Japanese or Chinese languages, which prevents
non-readers of those languages from accessing them. Also, Japan is
a Far Eastern island country, and the unique features of Japanese
climate and natural disasters would be unfamiliar and unimaginable
to them without being able to read those documents. How is the
climate of Japan, and how was the climate during the Little Ice Age
in Japan as compared with conditions in Europe and America? When
did meteorological observations start, and who (which country)
introduced them to Japan? Why did so many natural disasters occur
in Japan, and what caused them? This book answers these questions
as specifically and objectively as possible using both figures and
photographs, which are beneficial to students and the general
public who are interested in historical and current climatic change
in Japan, as well as professional climate scientists.
