| Abstract: | The Japan Sea coast of Hokkaido and northern parts of the mainland were attacked by tsunamis (seismic sea-waves) and one hundred lives were lost, following the earthquake of May 1983. No tsunamis had previously been captured on so many photographs and video-cameras as this one. This note briefly describes the main features of this event. |
