Veit Bach-a baker who found his greatest pleasure in a little cittern which he took with him even into the mill and played while the grinding was going on. In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach

It's the US Marines atop Mount Suribachi after a particularly fierce battle at Iwo Jima.

Fireworks are indeed popular, particularly at the New Year or Spring Festival time in Jan-Feb. Right now I'm more remotely located but in a town they're a right racket.
