The history, present situation and fireworks contest on the Sumida River are described. Fireworks were displayed originally in 1733 on the Sumida River as the memorial service for the victims of a bad crop and an epidemic. The fireworks display was called "Ryogoku Kawabiraki Hanabi". Since then, the display continued until today though there were several interruptions. Today, the display is called "Sumidagawa Hanabi Taikai", the fireworks of about ten thousands each are displayed at two places on the river and the fireworks contest is held at one of the places simultaneously.
