Meeting the makers of fireworks

Japanese fireworks are not only a symbol of summer nights,
but a cultural tradition woven into festivals, prayers, and celebrations throughout the year.
Each burst embodies the craftsmanship, passion, and aesthetic values that Japan wishes to share with the world.

In the Queenworks series “Meeting the makers of fireworks”,
we interview pyrotechnicians and firework houses across Japan,
sharing their voices with a global audience—from national competitions to local festivals,
and the heritage passed down through generations.

Fireworks are a fleeting brilliance in the sky,
yet they are also a profound expression of Japanese culture.
Through the words of the makers, we bring these stories to the world.
