“A Short Movie of Hachioji Fireworks Festival in 2015”
There are some specific characteristics for traditional Japanese fireworks. Actually traditional Japanese fireworks were improved to be a shape of a big cannon ball. After it went off to the sky it would burst into globe shapes and show 3-D vision of spheres to the spectators. Thus in Japan fireworks is often compared to large flowered chrysanthemums because some of Japanese large chrysanthemums have almost globular shapes. In fact the word “fireworks” is “Hanabi” in Japanese and it means “Fire flower”.
In addition, those Japanese fireworks spheres can have layers depending on the size and it can sparkle with different colors or with delay as you can see in this video.
