Once a year, relatives gather to welcome the deceased during “Obon”. Nagasaki's Obon is a very extravagant event. Following the Chinese custom of “using sound to drive away evil spirits,” visitors set off rocket fireworks and firecrackers in front of graves. A child buys only one firework for his grandmother, who took care of him. A man buys 400,000 yen worth of firecrackers to send his father who passed away this year. The program closely follows a long-established fireworks shop in Nagasaki City. What are their feelings for the deceased told through explosions and tears?
