More About the Aizu Fireworks Display and the History of Fireworks Displays in Japan
The origins of Japanese fireworks displays date all the way back to the Edo period (1603-1868AD) when Tokugawa Yoshimune was Shogun.
In Japan, when summer comes around, fireworks displays are held all over the country. Many people attend to enjoy the fireworks and also the food stands that are temporarily set up. However, the Aizu Fireworks Display, which has been held since 2016, is held in the beginning of winter making it rather unique.
The Aizu Fireworks Executive Committee has put a lot of effort into this huge event in order to promote the restoration of the Aizu area which suffered catastrophic damage during the Great East Japan Earthquake.
How Many Fireworks Are Launched During the Aizu Fireworks Display?
This popular fireworks display attracts roughly 100,000 spectators each year.
The program starts with opening fireworks, followed by message or themed fireworks, quick-fire fireworks launched in succession over a span of 400 meters, minna no hanabi fireworks, the Japanese Fireworks Art Association's fireworks, and then the ending fireworks.
Several events such as Hachigouwaremono, the Jiyuutama contest, and the Hachigousenrintama contest are also held by the top pyrotechnics in Japan.
Approximately 10,000 fireworks light Aizu's night sky during this single festival. The fireworks are provided by the top fireworks specialists in Japan, featuring fireworks such as Shakudama and Sousaku hanabi.
