In regards to agricultural damage from extreme weather, a drought period occured from the last half of the 8th century through the first half of the 11th century. The damage caused by floods and wind increased in the 12th century, and the number of disasters increased drastically.
Though most of the wind damage was caused by typhoons, the winter seasonal winds were also stronger in late medieval times. The extreme weather created many sand dunes along the coast of the Sea of Japan. As a result, the sites of ports changed and villages migrated.
In regards to agricultural damage from pests, in ancient times, the ruling class recorded information and the populace prayed. During the medieval era rites based in Buddism were often performed regionally. Most of the agricultural pests would not survive through the Winter naturally, however, it was believed that it was due to the rites performed.
