　While the convergence of COVID-19 infection is unpredictable, the Sumida River Fireworks Festival, which has roots in the "Ryogoku River Opening" of the Edo period, was canceled last year and last year.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Many people died of starvation due to the great famine in Kyoho 17 (1732) in the Edo period, and the plague spread, causing great damage and influence on the nation. In prayer for the memorial service of the victims and the eradication of the illness, a water god festival was held on the Sumida River, and at that time, a restaurant around Ryogoku Bridge was opened by fireworks.　　　　　　In 1978, the name was changed to the Sumida River Fireworks Festival, and it has been established as a major summer tradition in Tokyo.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　With the hope that the COVID-19 pandemic will converge next year and enjoy the fireworks again, the Tokyo Sky Tree is being held on July 17, 24, 31, August 7, 21 and 28, special lighting of "Fireworks" is being carried out every Sunday.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　The motif is one of the popular programs that decorate the opening and finale of the fireworks festival, "Star Mine," a name that refers to the launch method of "Speed Fire Fighting" in the first place, and the so-called "set piece firework Fireworks," which hangs down while shining long.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　From Chuo-ohashi Bridge to Eitai Bridge, you can enjoy a moving production, such as fireworks rising and sparks dancing.
