Every August 15, there is a fireworks display held close to where I live. I watched and enjoyed it again this year.
In the Edo era, people used to shout “Kagiya” and “Tamaya” while watching fireworks displays. Kagiya was the oldest fireworks maker in Japan, and Tamaya was the second. They would alternate their fireworks displays on the banks of a river. Kagiya was in the lower course of a river, and Tamaya was in the upper. People would shout the makers’ names in admiration.
In 1843, the Tamaya Company burned itself and the half of the town in an accidental fire. In those days, such a thing was a felony charge. As a result, the government put an end to the company and took all its assets. The master of Tamaya, Ichibee, was banished.
Kagiya still exists, and their master is the fifteenth-generation now.
Nowadays, there are many fireworks manufacturers. So, few people shout “Kagiya” and “Tamaya” during fireworks displays.
Regardless, small children enjoyed shouting "Kagiya" and "Tamaya" this year. Their parents may have told them to shout it when they watch fireworks. Their voices were very cute.
Thank you.

Hello Yurisan.
返信削除In the UK we also have an annual firework display. It is known as Guy Fawkes Night, or simply Bonfire Night. It takes place every 5th November to commemorate the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. In this plot, which was a failed assassination attempt, Guy Fawkes and some fellow Catholics tried to blow up the House of Lords during the State Opening of Parliament when the King would be present. The plot was foiled and the conspirators were hanged, drawn and quartered. One of the customs is to make a dummy or effigy of Guy Fawkes himself and place him atop a large bonfire. This stems from the immediate aftermath of the plot, when the government passed a law requiring people to celebrate the failure of the plot.
Of course, nowadays people will use the slightest excuse to set off fireworks!
