“There should be fireworks at last, when a dream dies.”
― Kirby Larson
When Japan enters an early summer, fireworks festivals are held across the country, lighting up the Japanese night sky with splendid bursts. This time, though, I’m introducing handheld fireworks that are also one of our summer features.
Handheld fireworks are ones you can lit and hold in your hands. And you can buy them in convenient stores, supermarkets, and any local shops. Some countries, especially in the west, prohibit selling this kind of fireworks for safety reasons, but Japan- along with other Asian nations such as Taiwan – has it available across the country. So, even kids can buy them.
This time, we had a handheld fireworks meetup on a beach in the Shonan area and enjoyed a great time together. I’m going to post photographs of the even separately. In part 1 of the series, I’m showing you the very beginning of the event.
