Festivals Part Two
Ever heard of the tradition in Japan where firecracker producing villages will compete against each other to see which village produce better firecrackers? Nagaoka is now a city located in Niigata Prefecture. It used to be just a town with many villages and is famous for producing firecrackers. Every year, different villages will compete to win the title of 'best firecracker producing village'. It is said that, during the competition, viewers or villagers will shout out the name of the village they support. The name with the loudest cheer will win the competition.
The tradition has now become a festival in Japan where not only villagers are able to see beautiful firecracker performance and vote for their favourite, but curious individuals from all over the world can join in the fun too.
