Keywords:active fault, earthquake fault, Kamishiro Fault Earthquake

The 2014 Kamishiro Fault Earthquake was generated by reactivation of the northern part of the Itoigawa-Shizuoka Tectonic Line, one of the "110 major active faults" chosen by the Headquarters for Earthquake Research Promotion. Surface rupture has emerged just on the active fault lines shown on the pre-existing active fault maps. As the source fault was located shallower, strong ground motion occurred along the fault lines. However, it is clearly "one scale smaller earthquake" than the earthquake that was predicted by the Headquarters for Earthquake Research Promotion.
