How handcrafted fireworks are made in Japan (they take up to a month and a half)
A large Japanese firework takes up to a month and a half to make, and exists in the sky for only six seconds. In this video we show you the full process: from the stars with concentric color rings, to the yonshakudama — the largest firework in the world, weighing 1,015 pounds and opening a flower 2,600 feet wide. A centuries-old tradition that refuses to disappear. 🎆🇯🇵

Side note: All that gunpowder and no guns. Such a waste...
