Pohang Nakhwa Night

On a cool autumn night, a soft light falls over the waterway of the Pohang Canal. Nakhwa Nori is our traditional fireworks play in which charcoal powder is wrapped in hanji paper and burned slowly. Because no gunpowder is used, it does not explode like a firecracker; instead, the light gradually spreads along the nakhwa lines strung across the canal. The festival's greatest sight is the scene in which two 75-meter nakhwa lines are installed diagonally, richly illuminating the night and the water surface of the canal. At the Pohang Canal, which was once cut off and then revived through the efforts of citizens, the 'fire' of the industrial city of Pohang and the 'water' that symbolizes restoration meet in a single scene. This festival, filled only with nakhwa and music, without official ceremonies or singer performances, is a place solely for citizens and visitors.
