I found it interesting. It is said that fireworks festivals in Japan began in the 18th century, but they were not meant to be a celebration, but rather to serve as a memorial service or to ward off evil spirits. Fireworks displays were held to ward off misfortunes such as disasters, epidemics, and famine. The reason why many fireworks festivals in Japan are held in the summer is because it is said that the dead temporarily return to this world during that time. And during the period of the coronavirus pandemic, memorial fireworks were set off all over Japan. The beauty and loud sound of fireworks seems to have the effect of dispelling people's negative feelings.
I think the relationship between the Japanese spirit and fireworks is a very interesting theme. Fireworks are called "Hanabi" in Japanese. The literal translation of Hanabi into English is "Flower Fire." I think fireworks and cherry blossoms have something in common. Both shine beautifully and disappear in an instant. I have never thought deeply about the history of fireworks, so I am grateful to you for giving me the opportunity to think about it.
I am fond of fireworks and appreciate your lovely pictures. The boats lit up were both cute and elegant. Mostly, I loved the several pictures of the crowd, faces upturned to the skies; kids so excited I think they will jump with joy in the next moment. Brings a smile to my face. thank you.
Thank you for this post, Akira. I can see these fireworks from my house, but I never realized they were at Aichi Ike. I’ll try to ride over there next summer! 🎆
It's a good idea to go by bicycle. When I went there, the nearby parking lot was full, so I parked my car somewhere far away and took the shuttle bus to the venue.
Magnifique subarashii Shimizu-san, those fireworks remind me of those I saw when in Japan. Incroyable, I especially love the photo of the people's reactions, they look so awed and moved by the sight, it inspires such affection in me for them. The Japanese truly appreciate beauty in all its forms something that has always pleased me and always moved me about them.
Monseigneur I miss them so much, thank you very much for this photo, truly appreciate it.
The compatibility between the water surface and fireworks is outstanding. I'm sure Independence Day fireworks have a special meaning in the USA.

Seguro que los fuegos artificiales en España tienen un encanto diferente a los de Japón. Quiero ver los fuegos artificiales en tu país.
Thank you so much.

The boats moving slowly on the lake transported me to a fantastical world. And fireworks have the power to make people smile unconditionally.

Please don't make the mistake. This fireworks display will be held at MIYOSHI IKE instead of Aichi Ike.

Ah, Miyoshi Pond. Got it! Thank you. 🙏 It’s a bit far to walk, but by bicycle it’s not too far. 🚲

Ah, good idea. I think there’s a クルリン
bus from Komenoki Stn. that probably goes near there. A bike is kind of scary at night.

You're welcome. It's an honor. Please enjoy the fireworks when you come to Japan again.
I intend to! X) Domou and the honour is all mine.
