She also commented on an aftershock which occurred at 2200 that night.〔Danly, ''In the Shade of Spring Leaves: The Life of Higuchi Ichiyo''〕 The earthquake is also mentioned by author Jun'ichirō Tanizaki in his autobiographical work, ''Yosho-jidai'', in which he described how his family’s house collapsed during the earthquake, a traumatic event to which he attributed his lifelong phobia of earthquakes.〔Tanizaki, ''Childhood Years: A Memoir''〕 By 1894, Tokyo and Yokohama had numerous foreign residents, many of whom commented on the earthquake in their writings and diaries.

A considerable number of photographs were taken just after the event for the use at the former Imperial Earthquake Investigation Committee in its official reports of the 1894 earthquake, but almost all of the original plates have been lost.〔http://ci.nii.ac.jp/naid/110004707968/ Bulletin of the National Science Museum〕
