Last week I went to the sea to watch firework festival. In summer everwhere they have foreworks and celebrate summer, and in August it's the higest season to watch them. So the festival I went was a little earlier than usual one because it commemorates the day of Perry coming to Japan with black ship to demand us to open trade in 1853. The show wasn't so big but I really enjoyed the fireworks for the forst time this year. It was so beautiful that made me speechless.

Recently, more fireworks shoot up with music. For me, I think music isn't necessity and just sound of fireworks and cheers feel me the season of summer. In festival, many young girls and boys put on yukata, a kind of kimono is Japanese traditional clothes. I'm planning to go some festival this summer and wear yukata.

After watching a show, I like shotting off fireworks. Especially, a sparkling firework is beautiful. It seems fragile and elegant, so it's suitable tfor Japanese to miss transition of seasons.

It seems that Firework Festival is shown in lots of animations and movies. Besides firework, what impress me most is yukata. Did you wear yukata to go to Firework Festival? I think you must be gorgeous in your yukata  : )
