Hi people.

Its original means is that when the gods travel to another place,
temporaly the gods stay in that portable shrines.
You can see it especially when it is summer festival.

Hi people.

So what is this?



This is called SENKOU-HANABI. Have you ever hard that before?
Basically it is firework. SENKO means incense stick.
HANABI means firework.
Can you guess what it looks like?
The firework looks like incense stick.
This is how it looks:



It is pretty, isn’t it?
Then what is good about this particular SENKO-HANABI?
Usually SENKO-HANABI is around 1 for 3 yen.
But this one is about 10.50 dollars (1050 yen) for just 7!!!!
Which means 1 for 150 yen!!!
Plus, they make only 200 SENKOU-HANABI per a day!!
Of cause, it is 100% made in Japan.
And it flames as the four part organization of Chinese poetry;
introduction, development, turn and conclusion !!!
WOW and how??? Isnt it so beautiful!!!???
That is why it is so expensive!?

By the way, SENKOU-HANABI is very seasonal things for Japanese.
In summer people do HANABI party, and in the end,
they start to do SENKOU-HANABI… it is kind of sad, lonely and Nostalgic in a way…
SENKO-HANABI is sort of representing of Japanese hart…

So did you understand what it is now, Ichi?
