Late Cenozoic tectonic maps are serially given to show the amount of vertical displacement since Miocene, trends of fold axes and degree of de-formation of sedimentary rocks in Japan. They illustrate some differences between the east Japan and west Japan arc systems. Lines of evidence show that the former is more active.In the east Japan arc system a series of orogenic events started at the beginning of the Miocene. The trend of the Late Cenozoic orogenic belt is discordant with those of Mesozoic orogenic belts. The younger orogeny seems to be genetically independent of the older ones, although the older structures have given some effects on the younger ones in central Hokkaido and in south Fossa Magna. The east Japan arc system consists of the inner volcanic, outer geanticlinal and outermost subsiding trench belts. The inner and trench belts are regarded as forming a pair of high-temperature and low-temperature tectogenic belts. This pair may correspond to that of the Mesozoic orogenic belts as revealed by the study of metamorphic facies around the Pacific.
