Abstract
Japanese Islands have been considered to be located at the eastern edge of Eurasian plate boundary to the Pacific and Phillipine Sea Plates. Recently, another plate boundary is proposed to divide northeastern from southwestern Japan(for example, Seno,1985), and by this the former is on the North American and the latter the Eurasian plate, respectively. Relative motions of these four plates control the tectonics of Japanese Islands, and consequently the occurrence of large earthquakes along these plate boundaries.
