Hi.
Could you correct my English?
"Fireworks Display"
There is a fireworks display on August 15 every year near my house. I enjoyed again watching it this year.
People used to shout “Kagiya” and “Tamaya” watching Fireworks in the Edo Period. Kagiya is the oldest fireworks maker in Japan, and Tamaya is the second. They set off fireworks on a river alternately. Kagiya was in the lower course of a river, and Tamaya was in the upper. People shouted the makers’ names admiring them.
Today, few people shout that because Tamaya was extinguished for an accidental fire in 1843, and there are many fireworks makers.
However, small children were enjoying shouting Kagiya and Tamaya this year. Their parents may have told them to shout it when they watch fireworks. Their voices were very cute.
Thank you.
