Fukuroi Fireworks （袋井花火）

 This weekend several of us dressed up in yukata (a Japanese summer kimono) and went to see one of Japan's largest firework displays.  Every year, companies set-off huge fireworks as a way to to give back to the community.  Fukuroi City's fireworks were quite spectacular and lasted for about an hour and a half.  We saw all shapes and colors including a frog, butterflies, and Mt. Fuji!
