江戸川花火大会 (EDOGAWA FIREWORKS FESTIVAL)

Fireworks Festival

 

The tradition of fireworks festival can be traced back to 1732 at Sumidagawa (Sumidagawa River) , when fireworks were launched as part of festivals for the dead.

 

The country was in an economic crisis, and the people suffered from famine and disease to a greater degree than normal. Thus, the rituals and celebrations in which the fireworks took part played multiple roles.

 

These were mourning observances for the dead, as well as celebrations of life, and entertainment for the poverty-stricken masses.
