Keywords:landslide, slope failure, Tonankai, earthquake, U.S. military, reconnaissance

Shallow landslides were interpreted around Owase City, Mie Prefecture using U.S. military aerial photographs (1/16,000 in scale) taken on 7 December 1944, just three days after Tonankai earthquake (M7.9). It is thought that some of landslides were triggered by the earthquake. Result of the interpretation will be reported.
