Summer Night Radiance: The Splendid Ode of the Edogawa Fireworks Festival
On a summer night in Edogawa, a gentle breeze caresses the riverbank, which is already teeming with people, yet it doesn't feel noisy at all. It seems as if everyone is holding their breath, eagerly awaiting the miracle in the night sky. With a heart-stirring boom, the first firework shoots up into the sky, blossoming into a brilliant flower against the dark blue canvas.
One firework after another follows, some cascading like silver waterfalls, others pouring down like a shower of stars, in a dazzling array of colors and shapes, as if condensing the entire summer's passion into these fleeting moments. The most breathtaking of all is the grand finale of a thousand consecutive bursts, lighting up the entire night sky and reflecting a myriad of colors on the river's surface, leaving everyone mesmerized.
When the last firework fades away, Edogawa returns to its tranquility, but it leaves an endless aftertaste. This fireworks display is not just a visual feast, but a heartfelt farewell to summer, reminding people to cherish these fleeting moments of beauty.
