I photographed traditional Japanese fireworks on July 21, 2017.
This fireworks is very dangerous, but it is a firework wishing for traditional peace.
It is a very dangerous yet interesting festival where a special type of fireworks is being used.
This fireworks is called ‘tezutsu hanabi’. ‘Tezutsu hanabi’ are cylindrical tubes held up in both bands that continually shoot fireworks.
It is the oldest traditional fireworks in Japan.
The event is a ritual worshiping God.
These hand tube fireworks use 3kg of gunpowder and all of the fireworks are handmade by the festival participants.
This fireworks is the birthplace of Toyohashi City, Aichi Prefecture.
