Set amid
the beauty of an ancient Japanese floral garden, the story weaved myth and
legends of the East with a tale of evil enchantment and family secrets. Could
the Emperor’s daughter complete her quest, break the evil Tengu’s spell and be
reunited with her family? It seemed all was lost, until good finally triumphed
in a spectacular dragon fight finale. Guy, as always, found himself caught up
in events, coming once again to a flaming end as the firework show began.
Around 2000
people attended the show, enjoying the dry and starry conditions after a
weekend of Bonfire night washouts! With vibrant costumes of kimonos, dragons
and warriors, featured against the backdrop of beautiful flowers and plants in
a traditional Japanese garden, many visitors commented that the 2012 Fireshow
was the most visually stunning they had seen.
