Like many celebrations across the world, fireworks often play a part in Japanese festivities. In Japan, they are most commonly associated with the summer festival. I chose to write this word because in my home country of the UK it will soon be Bonfire Night (Guy Fawkes’ Night) , a time for making fires and letting off fireworks.
There’s also a rhyme that goes with it:
Remember, remember, the 5th of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot
I see no reason why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.
Have a fun November 5th 🙂
