Evolution of magnetic structures in the region around an eruptive prominence of August 28, 1992 are examined using soft X-ray images obtained by Yohkoh. The eruption was preceded by the appearance of a large-scale soft X-ray jet which was ejected from near the root of the southern end of the prominence. Changes of magnetic geometry at the southern end of the prominence appeared to trigger the eruption. In the course of prominence eruption, helically twisted soft X-ray loops were observed around the prominence. This indicates that magnetic reconnection of a sheared arcade took place underneath the erupting prominence.
