Blizzard
In Volume 27 Issue 1 of the Keio Economic Studies journal, Robert Evans Jr authored a text called "
Economic Growth and Fires: The Case of Japan" in which, following the abstract, he opens:
"In January, 1657, a great fire swept Ede (Tokyo) for two days. The Meireki Fire, also known as the Great Furisode Fire, in combination with a severe blizzard immediately afterward caused the deaths of more than 100,000 people."
It might be worthwhile to try and dig deeper into that blizzard and just how big a role it played -- this seems like something that should likely be mentioned in under the Aftermath heading.

Minor point
But the passage that previously stated without sourcing
Article states the keep of the castle was spared. This is not true. The keep was destroyed in this fire and never rebuilt, per Japanese sources (including Japanese edition of this article).
