preparing for the fireworks

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Kawasaki, 2023.10.21

We did a five kilometer walk, mostly along the Tamagawa. These people were setting up their spots to watch the fireworks later that night. They do this hours or days in advance.

So different from the unplanned chaos of Western activities.
