About this listen

Fireworks that color the night sky are synonymous with summer in Japan, and fireworks festivals are held throughout the country every year, mainly during July and August.

夜空を彩る花火は、日本では夏の風物詩といわれ、毎年おもに7〜8月は全国各地で花火大会が開かれます。
日本で花火が作られるようになったのは、16世紀に鉄砲と火薬の製法が伝来して以降のこと。江戸時代には多くの花火師が腕を競い合った結果、日本には多くの種類の花火があります。
なかでも、隅田川の川開きで花火の技を競い合った「玉屋」と「鍵屋」の2大花火屋は有名です。
今でも打ち上げ花火が上がると、人々が「たまやー」「かぎやー」と声をかける場面が見られます。
また夏になると、ホームセンターやスーパーなどで、家族や友人たちと楽しむための手持ち花火も販売されます。
特に線香花火は、日本の夏の情緒を代表する花火として、昔も今も人気です。
