This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''1888 eruption of Mount Bandai''' was a major [[volcano|volcanic eruption]] which occurred during the [[Meiji period]] of the [[Empire of Japan]]. The eruption occurred on July 15, 1888, [[pyroclastic flow]]s buried villages on the northern foot of the mountain, and devastated the eastern part of Bandai region, [[Iwashiro Province]] (now part of [[Fukushima Prefecture]]) north of [[Tokyo]].<ref>((cite web|author=Česky |url=http://www.volcanodiscovery.com/bandai.html |title=Bandai Volcano, Honshu (Japan) - facts & information / VolcanoDiscovery: |publisher=Volcanodiscovery.com |date= |accessdate=2016-01-31))</ref> At least 477 people were killed, and hundreds more were injured and rendered homeless.<ref>Smith, Encyclopedia of Geology, pp 461</ref>

[[Mount Bandai]] is a [[stratovolcano]]. Its most recent previous eruption had occurred in 806. Mount Bandai had a conical profile, and had been compared in literature with [[Mount Fuji]]. The Bandai volcano consisted of four peaks: O-bandai (1,819 meters), Kushigamine (1,636 meters), Akahaniyama (1,427 meters), and Ko-bandai which was slightly lower than that of O-bandai.

Small [[earthquake]]s were reported on 8, 9 and 10 July. Moderate earthquakes occurred on 13 and 14 July. However, as earthquakes are commonplace all over Japan, these tremors were not viewed by the local populace with great concern.

==Eruption==
On 15 July, three earthquakes occurred prior to the main eruption. The third one was the largest, at around [[Richter magnitude scale|magnitude]] 5. At 07:45, while the ground was still moving, a [[phreatic eruption]] began at the [[fumarole]]s approximately 100 meters upslope from the Kaminoyu hot spring resort on the flank of Ko-Bandai. Successive explosions occurred 15 to 20 times per minute. Each explosion was accompanied by thunder and a black eruption column ascending to a height of 1300 meters. The last explosion was observed to discharge a horizontal cloud, mainly toward the north.

Within 10 minutes after the explosions, a pyroclastic flow swept over the eastern part of the volcano. According to eyewitness, at least two phreatic eruptions continued after the large collapse. At around 10:00, hot rain started falling, transforming the vast quantity of [[volcanic ash]] into [[lahar]] (volcanic [[mudslide]]s).  At 16:00, ash fall ceased.

==Aftermath==
The eruption transformed hundreds of square kilometers of forest and farmland around the mountain into a wasteland. Several villages were completely buried under landslides, which also considerably altered the [[topography]] of the region by diverting rivers and creating a number of new lakes. Approximately 1.5 cubic kilometers of the summit of the mountain had collapsed, and flowed northwards.

Japanese [[geologist]]s [[Seikei Sekiya]] and Y. Kikuchi from the [[Imperial University of Tokyo]] visited Bandai within days of the eruption. After spending several months studying the new crater and the devastated areas, they published a report in [[English language|English]] (“The eruption of Bandai-san” Tokyo Imperial University College of Sciences Journal 3 (1890), pp 91–171), which is considered a classic in [[volcanology]]. A photograph of the ruined mountain was the first [[Photojournalism|news photograph]] printed by the [[Yomiuri Shimbun]] in Japan.<ref name="Clancey, Earthquake Nation, pp 104">Clancey, Earthquake Nation, pp 104</ref>

The eruption was the first major disaster faced by the fledgling [[Japanese Red Cross]], which moved in quickly to provide disaster relief.

The lake district formed by this cataclysm is now known as Urabandai or [[Bandai-kōgen]], and has become a popular tourist destination, especially the multi-hued lakes of [[Goshiki-numa]].
