It's getting easier to spend the morning and evening little by little. It's time to look back on the memories of summer. One of the major summer events in and around Chuo-ku is the Sumida River Fireworks Festival. According to the official text of the Chuo-ku Tourism Certification, "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia", the roots of the Sumida River Fireworks Festival are said to be the festival held in 1733 (Kyoho 18). I sometimes go to museums and museums around the country for work, but when I visited the Sumida Local Culture Museum in Sumida-ku, I was able to obtain recommended materials for fireworks lovers. . This is a catalog of special exhibition's "390 Years of Sumida River Fireworks" commemorating the 20th anniversary of the opening of the Sumida Folk Culture Museum. According to this document, the first fireworks on the Sumida River are more than 100 years old than the roots of the Sumida River Fireworks Festival, and when the monk Tenkai came to Senso-ji Temple in 1628 (Kanei 5), it is said that he enjoyed playing at night. If you are interested in the history of fireworks, please take a look at this catalog.
