…In Kyoto, fires broke out soon after the capital was moved to Heian-kyo, and there are records of fires that burned down much of the city several times. Even during the Edo period, there were major fires in 1708 (Hoei 5), 1730 (Kyoho 15), and 1788 (Tenmei 8). Osaka was also frequently hit by major fires, including the great fire of 1791 (Kansei 3), and in 1837 (Tenpo 8), there was a major fire called "Oshio-yake" caused by fires during the Oshio Heihachiro Rebellion.

*Some of the terminology that refers to "Oshioyake" is listed below.
