The history of firework display in Japan could be traced back to the late Sengoku Period (the Age of Civil Wars), which was more than 430 years ago. Yet there are various opinions about its origin. There are historical records that Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first shogun of the Edo Period (1603-1867), watched fireworks. Fireworks became more and more popular during the Edo Period as the influence of the common people (Chonin) in the city of Edo grew strong in the fields of economy and culture.
The Tamagawa Firework Festival is a historical event to celebrate the enforcement of the municipal organization. This year's Festival is going to take place on the evening of Saturday, October 21. Approximately 6,000 of fireworks will be launched at the riverside area along the Tamagawa between 6:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.
