Setting Nara on Fire

the festival which they were preparing for was the one where the set Nara on fire, literally. They burn the grass leftover on the hills, so all the hills are set alight. I think they also burn the kanji for fire somewhere into the mountain side too. So we climbed up the hill so we were really close to the fire. Then, they set off a nice firework display. And of course, it was long and set to music. Then, they waited a little and set the grass on fire. It took a few minutes for it to catch, but once it did, it really spread fast. I got up right near t the barrier and you could feel the heat of it!
