The Fireworks of Japan

“Hanabi” or Japanese fireworks are not entirely for Disneyland and Summer festivals. They are the medium between the living and the dead, the rituals by the former to respect the latter. They are bouquets for the dead ascending to the sky. They symbolize the affection and good wishes towards the dead by those left on the ground. Thus, the more beautiful and extravagant, the better the fireworks, flowers of fire, are.
