Translation

On August 2, the "Nebuta Festival" began in Aomori City.

This year, 23 large nebuta floats are taking part.

Nebuta are made of bamboo and washi paper, and glow from the electric lights inside.

When night falls, they move slowly through the town.

Some people dance while shouting "Rassera."

It is said that about three million people gather over the six days.

Why six school grades, and not N5–N1?

Because that is how Japanese children learn to read. Japan's Ministry of Education fixes exactly which character belongs to which grade — so "grade 3" is a boundary you can verify, not a feeling. Every article here is machine-checked: if a single character sits above its grade, it is not published.

The result: you never hit a character you have not learned. That is the whole reason this product exists.
