On Thursday March 10, 2011 a series of aftershocks rattled Japan (including a magnitude 6.6 quake) after the magnitude 7.3 quake hit the northeastern Honshu island March 9, said the Japan Meteorological Agency.

On March 11, 2011 alone, there were 200+ aftershocks. From the 9.0 magnitude earthquake on Friday March 11 05:46:23 UTC until March 31 midnight there were approximately 2,806 earthquakes ranging in magnitude 3.9 through 7.9.

As of August 10 there were 4,308 earthquakes in or near Japan for year 2011 according to the USGS earthquake data (not including small quakes under M 3.0) with March the most active month of the year. That's on average over earthquakes 19 per day.
