The hanabi is a summertime fireworks festival in Japan. People (mostly teens) gather together clad in their yukata (summer kimono for the ladies) and jinbe (for the guys) to watch the spectacle of lights that usually run for an hour and a half.

Instead showing the fireworks you chose to show us people seeing it and that's a refreshing way of telling a story. angil · 2012-07-28: 05:05
