A supreme art of fireworks woven by Japan's tradition and state-of-the-art technology

We believe that Japan's chrysanthemum-type fireworks are the world's most splendid and sophisticated, true to their worldwide reputation. Why? The following three are the principal reasons:

- The chrysanthemum-type firework is perfectly circular and spreads magnificently all over the sky.

- The stars of the firework change colors all at once two times, three times or more and disappear all at once.

- Called "shinmono," the firework is not a single circle but spreads in two, three or more concentric circles.

Japanese fireworks are not simply chrysanthemum type but come in a great variety of shapes and colors. The size is also multifarious, ranging from 20 meters to 500 meters in diameter. The largest variety, in particular, is seldom found in untries other than Japan because they lack the cutting-edge pyrotechnics needed.

The night sky will be painted dazzlingly with most refined and dynamic fireworks shot up in rhythmic succession by our computerized, state-of-the-art ignition equipment. The satisfaction of spectators is 100 percent assured by our unique staging techniques, for instance, in synchronism with music.
