Figure 1. Seismic intensity distribution of the 2016 Kumamoto earthquakes

2 Figure 2. Surface faulting of the 2016 Kumamoto earthquakes on known active faults. Along the Futagawa fault zone, about 30 km long, a series of surface faults are found. The maximum faulting is 2.2 m right-lateral slip at Mashiki town, Dozon area. Photo taken on 2016, May 14th by Naoshi Hirata.

3 Figure 3.Kumamoto earthquakes on mapped active faults, the Futagawa and Hinagu faults, which are two of 98 major active fault among 2000 mapped active faults in Japan.
