As indicated in the description of the Ogi meteorite's historic 1741 fall in Japan, (see lot 49011), most Japanese meteorites are particularly difficult to obtain due to a rarified status. This, however, may not seem to be entirely the case on the Japanese island of Kyushu, the most southwesterly of Japan's four main islands. On October 26, 1886, nearly 150 years after the Ogi event, the Kagoshima prefecture on the island of Kyushu was visited with a large meteorite shower no more than 75 miles from where Ogi landed.
