This was Typhoon No. 22 of 1958 (Showa 33). The name of the typhoon comes from the Kano River, which broke its banks. It formed off the coast of the Mariana Islands on September 21st and developed rapidly as it moved north. In the 24 hours between 3 a.m. on the 23rd and 3 a.m. on the 24th, the central pressure of the typhoon deepened by 93 hectopascals to 877 hectopascals, but by the time it brushed the Izu Peninsula on the night of the 26th and made landfall in Kanagawa Prefecture from Sagami Bay, it had weakened considerably. However, as the typhoon approached, the front along the southern coast of Japan became active, causing record-breaking rainfall in the Izu Peninsula and southern Kanto. The typhoon then passed near Tokyo and exited the Sanriku coast. The damage was mainly caused by rain and was widespread, especially in eastern Japan. According to the Japan Meteorological Agency's technical report (Japan Meteorological Agency Technical Report No. 37, Kanogawa Typhoon Investigation Report, 1963), 1,157 people were killed or missing, with the majority of human damage caused by rising and bursting rivers in Shizuoka Prefecture and the Kanto region, where the typhoon passed. In particular, the Izu region suffered major damage, with over 900 people killed or missing due to the flooding of the Kano River, and in Shuzenji Town (now Izu City) alone, the number of dead and missing reached 464. In Tokyo, the daily rainfall on the 26th was 393 mm, the heaviest since the Japan Meteorological Agency was established, and flooding occurred in many places, including the collapse of the Shakujii River levees, and transportation networks were cut off.

1958年(昭和33)の台風第22号のこと。台風の名称は決壊した狩野川からきている。9月21日にマリアナ近海で発生し、北上しながら急速に発達した。23日未明の3時から24日3時までの24時間で93ヘクトパスカルも中心気圧が深まり877ヘクトパスカルまで発達したこの台風も、26日夜伊豆半島をかすめて相模(さがみ)湾から神奈川県に上陸したころには、かなり衰弱していた。しかし、台風の接近により日本の南岸沿いの前線が活発化し、伊豆半島と関東南部では記録的な豪雨となった。台風はその後東京付近を通って三陸沖へ抜けている。 被害はおもに雨によるもので、東日本を中心に広範囲にわたった。気象庁技術報告(『気象庁技術報告第37号 狩野川台風調査報告』1963年)によると、死者・行方不明者は1157名、人的被害の大部分は、台風の通過した静岡県と関東地方で河川の増水・決壊によってもたらされた。なかでも、伊豆地方では狩野川の氾濫(はんらん)によって、死者・行方不明者が900名を超えるなど大きな被害が発生し、修善寺(しゅぜんじ)町(現、伊豆市)だけでも、死者・行方不明者は464名にのぼった。東京では26日の日降水量は393ミリメートルと気象庁開設以来の雨量となり、石神井(しゃくじい)川の堤防決壊など、随所に水害が発生し、交通網が寸断された。 [饒村 曜] [参照項目] | | | |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
