Isahaya Mandongawa Festival
諫早万灯川まつり
A memorial service for the 630 victims of the Isahaya Great Flood in Showa 32 (1957). The tranquil river surface is adorned with 19,000 mysterious lanterns, creating a contrast of fireworks, light, and sound against the night sky. It is a solemn and fantastical festival of silence, rare even on a national scale.
