Hanabi

The japanese word for fireworks is Hanabi, and this was one of the biggest Hanabi shows I have ever seen. August 1 is the anniversary date of an American attack on the city of Toyama during WWII, every year on this date the whole city comes out to the river to watch an hour long Hanabi show and BBQ it up. It was raining constantly for days before the show and it stopped just a few hours before the fireworks began, then poured again after the show stopped.
