Because of the flames rising from these two places the neighborhoods and the entire city of Kyoto were struck by the great fire known as the 'don-don yake' (quick quick burning), in which everything between Ichijo avenue on the north all the way to the Main Mausoleum of the Shin (Pure Land) Sect (which refers to Higashi Hongan-ji temple) on Shichijo avenue to the south, a wide swath of land and many temples and shrines, were destroyed by fire.
この二箇所から上がった火で京都市街は「どんどん焼け」と呼ばれる大火に見舞われ、北は一条通から南は七条の真宗本廟に至る広い範囲の街区や社寺が焼失した。
