Aug 27 (NHK) - People in northeastern Japan have enjoyed an annual firework show that lit up skies over Omagari in Daisen City. This year, they had to make extra efforts to prepare for the event as the site was flooded due to heavy rain the previous day.
Pyrotechnicians from across Japan gathered to display the beauty and creativity of their fireworks. The show, which takes the form of a competition, attracts more than 700,000 spectators every year. About 18,000 fireworks lit up the summer sky on Saturday.
The event is held on a riverbank. People had to work overnight to prepare for the event all over again because of the flooding.
