The Olympics have come to a close. The closing ceremony began with a fireworks display.
In the Edo period (1603-1868), fireworks were made as a memorial to those who died of the plague.
There was a time when the raw material, gunpowder, was changed from fireworks to weapons.
Now, the Olympic Games are closing amidst the spread of corona infection. The fireworks set off to open the closing ceremony conveys the original meaning of fireworks.
The Olympics is a festival of peace, thank you.
I am watching the closing ceremony with this drink.
