The following year, the eighth shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune, held the first ever Sumidagawa Fireworks Festival which was originally called Ryogoku River Fireworks Festival
This suijinsai (*1) event was held to comfort the spirits of the deceased and pray that those living would be free from famine or other misfortunes in the future.
