HRK the END
Aug. 27, 2023
I went to the Takasaki Festival fireworks festival in Takasaki City, Gunma Prefecture for the first time. While being watched over by Takasaki White Robe Daikannon, which is a landmark of Takasaki City, the fireworks festival ended without rain. The next tournament was short, but the fireworks was great, with 15,000 shots in 45 minutes. Before the start, lightning was happening in various places and rain clouds were gathering, but only the area around my area near Takasaki White Robe Daikannon was covered with clouds and there was no cloud overhead. It started raining right after the end of the fireworks festival, so it was a valuable experience that I thought was saved from raining thanks to Kannon-sama.
