Fireworks display


Fireworks

In the summer in Japan, it is extremely sultry.
The people see the firework which is launched on the river and forget the sultry.
In Japanese, the firework is called "HABA-BI". "HANA" is the flower and "BI" is the fire.
Recently, the launch of the firework is automated with the computer. Often, the thousands of fireworks can be continuously launched for the 3 hours of pm9:00 from pm6:00.
The young women put on the clothing which is called "YUKATA" and supervise the feelings in the past. They have the fan which is called "UCHIWA"(The round fan) at the hand.

Because the firework uses the gunpowder, the firework factory is in the place which left the place where the people live in.

When seeing the firework nearby, the neck is tired because it is the form to look up at.
