Bon holidays and Fireworks



I spend all my bon holidays in my hometown. Most of Japanese people take holidays between August 13th and 16th. This season is also take place summer festival and fireworks display in each place.


The day of fireworks was taken place, there were many stalls around and there were people in Yukata.


I went to Sushi restaurant with my family before the fireworks. It's an annual event of my family.





It's a embellishment to hold a mess. It's made from sugar, and placed in front of Buddhist altar.


In my hometown, fireworks display is taken place at city's harbor. People also enjoyed the summer night sea breeze.





At this harbor, you can watch the fireworks rising from opposite shore from a close distance. It's a great attraction! It's like a fireworks blast just on my head, and the sound is like roaring thunder!



Obon holidays and fireworks are finished, the end of summer is just around the corner...
I feel little bit lonely...

I think you really enjoyed your Bon holiday and the fireworks! The sushi look oishi.. what's the name of the first sushi, the one with the rice inside?

Hi Rashai,
Thank you for your comment!
I'm sorry for this late reply. The sushi with the rice inside is called "Inarizushi(Inari-sushi)".(^^)

Mika-chan,
The'Inari Sushi'looks different and tastier than the one I usually got :) so I didn't think that was Inari sushi.

Thanks!
