We're Bringing Japanese Fireworks Back | ONLY in JAPAN Festival 2021 in Nagano

 

Our Fireworks Festival project is live. This year's project is in Nagano where we'll be launching up fireworks on the riverbanks of the Chikuma River which were flooded in October 2019. Since all fireworks festival have been cancelled in 2021 like last year, I thought it a nice idea to do this again, help out another area that could use some extra positivity.

420kg Giant Firework Shell Story | The YONSHAKUDAMA

Meet the YONSHAKUDAMA Japan's biggest fireworks shell weighs about 420kg (925 pounds) It was created by Masanori Honda in 1986. The world had never seen anything like this! It was the largest ever artillery firework shell in 2014 when it entered the Guinness Book of World Records. Since then, more ridiculous sizes have been launched but it all started with Honda-san. He's been launching up the insane 420 kg (925 lb) "Yonshakudama" Firework Artillery Shell for decades. The Katakai Matsuri is held annually on September 9th and 10th for over 400 years.
