Sumida-gawa : ウィキペディア英語版
Sumida River

The is a river which flows through Tokyo, Japan. It branches from the Arakawa River at Iwabuchi and flows into Tokyo Bay. Its tributaries include the Kanda and Shakujii rivers.
What is now known as the "Sumida River" was previously the path of the Ara-kawa. However, towards the end of the Meiji era work was carried out to divert the main flow of the Ara-kawa to prevent flooding.
It passes through the following wards of Tokyo:
* Kita
* Adachi
* Arakawa
* Sumida
* Taito
* Kōtō
* Chūō
==Culture==
The ''Noh'' play ''Sumida-gawa'', which the British composer Benjamin Britten saw while visiting Japan in 1956, inspired him to compose ''Curlew River'' (1964), a dramatic work based on the story.
The kabuki play, ''Sumida-gawa — Gonichi no Omokage'', is perhaps better known by the title ''Hokaibo'', which is the name of the central character. This stage drama was written by Nakawa Shimesuke, and it was first produced in Osaka in 1784. The play continues to be included in kabuki repertoire in Japan; and it is also performed in the West. It was recreated by the Heisei Nakamura-za in the Lincoln Center Festival in New York in the summer of 2007, with Nakamura Kanzaburō XVIII leading the cast.〔Lincoln Center Festival, ''Hokaibo'' program notes in ''Playbill''. July 10–29, 2007.〕
The Sumida River Fireworks, which are recognized as one of the oldest and most famous firework displays in Japan, are launched from barges across the river, between Ryōgoku and Asakusa during Summer, a festival is also held at the same time.
