Historical record of tsunami prior to 1800 with wave heights for select Japanese locations. Vertical lines denote times of written records of tsunami at each location. Bold values indicate orphan tsunami (i.e., tsunami without local shaking). All timelines end at the year 1800 and are to scale. Wave heights at select locations for tsunami sources in the Izu–Bonin, North Mariana, and South Mariana are from this work, while wave heights from the 1700 Cascadia tsunami (green), 1952 Kamchatka tsunami (dark blue), 1960 Chile tsunami (orange) are from Atwater et al., [2005]. Izu–Bonin, North Mariana, and South Mariana wave heights are stacked, showing tsunami wave heights from Mw 8.7 earthquakes in dark gray, those from Mw 9.0 earthquakes in gray, and those from Mw 9.3 earthquakes in light gray
