Onomichi Sumiyoshi Fireworks

The Onomichi Sumiyoshi Fireworks festival is a traditional event that began in the middle of the Edo period as a prayer for safe passage by sea and success in business. Around 13,000 fireworks are set off from a barge in the Onomichi Channel of the Inland Sea, including bold chrysanthemum and extravagant water-level fireworks, as well as hayauchi (a launch method that involves dropping fireworks into a tube in rapid succession) fireworks. The show is particularly noteworthy for its synchronization with a soaring musical accompaniment. The traditional passage of the mikoshi (portable shrine) over the waters before the fireworks festival is also not to be missed. With the setting of the sun, the mikoshi holding the shintai (object of worship that contains the deity) departs from Sumiyoshi Shrine in a royal boat, crossing the Onomichi Channel flanked by paper lantern boats.

In the Tsuyama dialect, the word "gongo" refers to a turtle-like water creature identified elsewhere in Japan as "kappa." Held annually with a theme of "revitalizing the spirit of the river," the "Tsuyama Noryo Gongo Matsuri" is well-known by local people as a hallmark of summer, and is host to festival carts and several events, including stage performances focusing on dance. The finale of the festival is highlighted by a fireworks display known to be one of the largest in the prefecture. In a park along the banks of the Yoshii River, approximately 5,000 fireworks-including star mines, trick fireworks and musical fireworks-are launched, painting the night sky of Tsuyama in vibrant colors.
