Summertime in Japan is fireworks time. After the rainy season companies, towns and cities, and individuals put on enormous fireworks festivals. People flock to them wearing beautiful yukata and drink outside. The fireworks in Kanazawa are consistently better than the biggest displays I've seen in Canada -- or anywhere else for that matter. So without further ado, I'll let you get to the show.
In the Edo period, the two main families who made fireworks were the Tamaya and the Kagiya. So when things heat up, people still shout '
tamaya' and '
kagiya' in response.
