2024/08/24 Edogawa Fireworks Festival I headed to the venue from Asakusa, which was supposed to be nearby, an hour before the launch start time, but what a crowded yellowtail. I was in a hurry, but the Edogawa bank to the venue went on endlessly. When I was halfway through the program, I was finally able to sit down in the seat where I had bought a ticket. In the dark night sky, there are a hundred flowers of fire. The ephemeral light of a thousand purple crimsons, the ephemeral afterimages, and the memories that burn into the eyes. A distant summer day overlaps the back of an engrossed young child.
