Abstract
Typhoons 9117·9119 and 9918 passed through Kyushu, Chugoku, and Shikoku of Japan in the middle and the latter part of September. Many areas in the western parts of Japan suffered from strong winds and heavy rainfall during these typhoons, which damaged crops and greenhouses in these years. The money lost in agriculture in Kyushu, Chugoku, and Shikoku as a result of typhoon 9117·9119 exceeded 281 billion yen. The money lost in agriculture in these areas as a result of typhoon 9918 exceeded 114 billion yen. Typhoon 9117·9119 damaged crops, trees, livestock, institutions, and so on, but trees and livestock were not nearly as damaged by typhoon 9918. The crop most damaged by typhoon 9117·9119 was fruit trees, but the one most damaged by typhoon 9918 was rice. The money lost in rice, vegetables, trees and institutions caused by typhoon 9117·9119 in this region was more than that caused by typhoon 9918. The difference is attributed to the landing strengths, disaster types, and damage mechanisms of the typhoons.
