  1. The origin of the horizontal coordinate is the summit crater of Minami-dake (130.66° E, 31.58° N). The uncertainties are the 95% confidence intervals estimated from the F-test (Árnadóttir and Segall 1994). The position of the dislocation model (dike) is at the center of the top edge of the fault. The dip is clockwise from the horizontal, and the strike is clockwise from the north. We also checked smaller radius of sources MS and K, but WRSS value did not improve. Therefore, we did not extend the search range of radius any smaller
