Fireworks (Hanabi) - December 29, 2014




Christmas season
fire rains from the sky
in Arco

winter feasting
 illuminating the castle
fireworks

ushering in the year
through out the penisula
fireworks

Fireworks may not be a modern kigo as we discovered from Carpe Diem Haiku Kai .. but they are an integral part of the seasonal celebrations in December throughout Italy.  The brief video was prepared by a visitor who came to Arco's Christmas Fair on the evening of December 7th ... the 8th is a holiday in Italy and the beginning of the Christmas Season (the Immaculate Conception).  Arco shoots off about 45 minutes of fireworks from its castle.  On the 31st New Year's Eve fireworks are shot off everywhere (publicly and privately) to usher in the New Year
