夏の風物詩 花火。江戸時代以降丸く色鮮やかな日本独自の形に進化し、形状や消え方で菊、牡丹、柳、千輪菊と花の名がつけられています。昼に花開く朝顔のように、夜空に咲く”花”の花火は古より夏の人々の心に寄り添ってきたのです。

Symbol of summer - fireworks. According to shapes and styles of fading out, types of fireworks were named after flowers. Like morning glories blooming during the daylight, fireworks bloom on the night sky and have always been with our hearts, in summer, since long ago.
