A nationwide famine lasted for several years after 1258 (Shoka 2). Heavy rains and cold weather in June 1258, plus a typhoon on August 10, caused a nationwide poor harvest, with devastation unfolding from the winter through the spring and summer of the following year, 1259 (Shogen 1). Even after the wheat harvest in April 1259, the famine continued and rumours of young nuns eating dead bodies in the capital led to epidemics. For example, in October 1261 (Kōchō 1), Maejimamura in Edo-go, Toyoshima-gun, Musashi Province, had no peasants left and could no longer shoulder the burden of public duties, and taxes and public duties were delayed in many places due to peasants fleeing or dying.

1258年(正嘉2)以後数年間続いた全国的飢饉。58年6月の霖雨(ながあめ)と寒気に加えて8月10日の台風のため全国的に大凶作となり,冬から翌59年(正元1)春夏にかけて惨状が展開した。59年4月の麦収穫以後も,都で小尼が死人を食したとうわさされるなど飢餓状態が続き,疫病が流行した。一例として61年(弘長1)10月になっても武蔵国豊嶋郡江戸郷内前嶋村では百姓がいなくなり公事を負担できなくなっているように,各地で百姓の逃亡・死亡により年貢・公事が滞る状態になっていた。
