 On the hot summer evening, around 6 o'clock, a big turtle was taking a walk.
When I ask the master, the name is "Pon-chan" of the kezumeriku turtle.
I'm just taking a walk from Tsukishima Sanchome towards Nishinaka Shopping Street.
I was cheerful alternately around the left foot of the right foot and left foot, and while looking closely at the front, I was walking on the sidewalk.
・・'- When asked how old you are,
He is 17 years old.
The turtle, who was small enough to be on the palm of her hand, grew little by little every year, and now it's so much. ・・・・
The master was speaking with squinted eyes.
・・It's like my child ...
The adults passing by
"Yeah,"
"Why, a turtle on Tsukishima ..."

The children go with "Pon-chan".
My husband,
"Pon-chan,"
"Yeah, I'm fine ..."
The children were given a ride on "Pon-chan"
I'm sorry.
I try to take a picture of the turtle's walking figure on my mobile phone, but walking is faster than I thought.
When you set up forward and pointed your cell phone, it was up soon, and then rushed forward,
After all, I couldn't get the turtle's smile.
Then a little later, "Pon-chan,"
I was watched by the gentle gaze of the Shimomachi Tsukishima, turned around the alley, and headed home.
"Pon-chan" is always fine.

[Beginning of August]
I received a good news.
I got a numbered ticket for the main venue of Harumi, Tokyo Bay Fireworks Festival.

The Tokyo Bay Fireworks Festival is one of the best fireworks festivals in Tokyo, with as many as 12,000 fireworks being launched from the sea.
Harumi The main venue is one of the best places to view under the best conditions among the many venues.
[8:30 on the day]
The event was officially announced on the website of Chuo-ku.
The weather forecast is "Sunny and sometimes cloudy."
It's going to be very hot. It may be the hottest summer this summer.
I'm worried about the recent frequent guerrilla downpours.
[Around 16:00]
Take the Edo bus to Harumi 3-chome near the venue.
There are already many people, and emergency vehicles are also located.
Somehow, it's a terrible atmosphere.

Walk for about 10 minutes and enter the venue's premises.
Pass the side of the bridge under construction and head to the main venue.

By the time this bridge is completed, what is this area like?
[Around 16:30]
Proceed to the baseball stadium, which is close to the launch site even in the main venue.
In the hot weather, many people were already waiting for fireworks.

Set the radio you bring to Central FM and wait for the countdown while drinking beer.
Occasionally, the cool wind blows.
【18:00】
The gun roars in the sunset sky, and expectations are rising.

You can see Tokyo Tower in the distance.

【18:50】
The countdown finally begins.
Fireworks are launched one after another with the voice of "zero!"
From the radio, a special program for the Tokyo Bay Fireworks Festival of Chuo FM was broadcast.








The fireworks looked so big that it looked like a star was falling.
[Around 20:10]
The Daika Securities Fire Festival, which was less than an hour and a half, ended in no time.
A generous applause was sent to the people of pyrotechnician who showed great fireworks and the people of Daika Securities Fire Festival.
On the way back, there was no great confusion, and many people walked in order.

The 25th Tokyo Bay Fireworks Festival was held in Harumi on August 10, when the heat was record in various parts of the Japanese Islands and exceeded 37 ° C for the first time in six years in the city center. Organized by the Tokyo Bay Fireworks Festival Executive Committee, Chuo-ku, and Asahi Shimbun.

Apply in advance and get an admission ticket. The venue is Harumi main venue (in Chuo-ku, Harumi second venue). The capacity is about 50,000 (Harumi No. 2 venue is about 42,000). Open at 17:00. Blue sheets were laid in several blocks throughout the venue, and each one was taking up on it. At around 17:30 when I arrived at the venue, every seat was filled with many people, but it seemed that there was still room ahead. I have a little forward in the middle.

Until 18:50, the launch start time, announcements such as the availability of viewing places and explanations of fireworks were flowing in the venue. As I mentioned earlier, this venue requires an admission ticket, and the restrictions for up to two people and the opening time were fixed, so it seems that everyone was relatively quiet and waiting until the launch started I think.
The launch time was approaching, and the entire venue counted down 10 seconds in advance, and colorful fireworks were launched one after another. Fireworks of the character "Yurito" with the motif of the bird Yurikamome in the capital also appeared.
 
All pyrotechnician's works from all over Japan were powerful and cheered from the whole venue. Also, when a shaku five-squat ball (diameter about 45 cm) is launched, it spreads to about 400 m above the sky, and the vibration resonates with the ground and the body, which is breathtaking.
     
Approximately 12,000 fireworks colored the night sky of Tokyo Bay. The total number of spectators this year was about 680,000.
It has passed the fall on the calendar, but the heat is likely to continue. However, it was a time when I could forget the heat with power and beauty.

 The kaempfer cicada, which tells the end of the rainy season, the "Cicada Time Rain" of Minminzemi and Abrazemi at the height of summer, and the squeal of Tsukutsukuboshi and cicada in late summer give you a sense of the changing seasons.
There is no age of pupa in the cicada of incomplete transformation. The appearance of the end-of-life larvae coming out of the soil and moulting and transforming into an adult <Haka> can be seen here at Tsukuda Park from the sunset in summer to the middle of the night.
It is beautiful, dynamic, and mysterious as the center of the back breaks, pulls out one after another while warping the body, and finally gradually stretches the pale wings. (Refer to the photo below)
In the case of Abrazemi, it is generally said that adults that have emerged about 4 to 7 years from their eggs and end their lives in a few weeks.
It matures a few days after its emergence, and pods pods and calls pods. After mating, the spawning tubes are inserted into dead branches and raw trees (trenges) to lay eggs. It is said that it is characterized by jigzag-shaped spawning marks.
I hear that the hatched larva falls in the air and dive in the soil.

 August 6th and 7th are the Reisai Festival of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine, guardian god in Tsukuda, Tsukishima, Kachidoki and Harumi districts.
This year's "Yin Festival" means the city is different from the hustle and bustle of Reitaisai festival, once every three years.
On August 6, a large festival ceremony was held at 11:00 on August 6, and Kagura dedication was held quietly at 14:30/16:30/19:00 on August 7.
Still, from August 7th, 14th, 2012, Sumiyoshi Tsukuda, the caretaker who wore Reitaisai festival's "Align" in 2012, conveys the unique thoughts and manners of local festivals, the strong bonds and the spirit of handing down.
(upper left of the photo)
✎One of the essential things for Reitaisai festival is the new tone of a yukata called "Soroi".
Miya portable shrine can't carry it in Tsukuda unless he wears a uniform coat and white tabi.
Women can't carry Miya portable shrine, but I hear that women can participate only in the Miyamoto Town Association <Senuki> carrying of miniature shrines.
Tsukuda Island (Tsukuda 1-chome) has an organization called Sumiyoshi Tsukuda, which consists of only boys consisting of <Kamimachi>, Nibe <Shitamachi> and Sanbe <Azumacho>, and is involved in the whole religious service held at shrines as well as in the Reisai Festival of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine.
The members of Sumiyoshi Tsukuda are listed in three categories: "young people", "large young people", and "caretakers", and the uniforms and roles to wear are different. It was said that it would take 20 years of young people and 10 years of "time" to become a caretaker, but now it is said that promotion is decided in consideration of age, experience, contribution, etc. The young people who are new members are called "Shinberi", and if they sit incorrectly, they will hear that they will be severely scolded, "XX years early."
In addition, the design of Reitaisai festival's uniforms in fiscal 2012 was designed.
