This is a part of a research project based on our excellences of the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake in 1995. In this paper I have focused on the nature of the disaster of an earthquake and the reaction of society and individuals to it. For this purpose I have compared three earthquakes: the Ansei-Edo Earthquake in 1855, the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923 and the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake in 1995. The immediate reactions are very similar: distribution of onigiri (rice-balls), construction of public shelters, distribution of money to the evacuated people. This fact implies that the disaster of an earthquake damages people in the same way and we feel the same feeling regardless of the difference of age and life style. The ground which we think stable moves quickly without any warning and the damage appears in a few moments. So, as a sociologist who suffered in the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923 has described, we feel betrayed by the most stable material on which our ordinary lives rely.
