Hanabi 花火


This summer has been excetionally hot nationwide.

Hanabi is one of a event unique to summer. In this season, many people wear yukata (light cotton kimono for summer) and go to fireworks show.

Once Hanabi is set off, it goes up to the sky with a sound (hyuuuuu). Before the fireworks explodes, the sound stops. Then there is nothing in the black sky without any sound and light, which is called "Ma" in Japanese. Then the fireworks explodes with beautiful lights and big sounds.
"Ma" is considered to be very important for Japanese to enjoy fireworks, because the "Ma" gives us the moment to except beautiful Hanabi.

Still we need to be careful not to get heat stroke, it is the best season for us to enjoy beautiful Japanese summer events.
