AKITA, Sep 01 (News On Japan) –
The 97th National Fireworks Competition, referred to as “Omagari no Hanabi,” was held on August 30 on the Omagari no Hanabi Park alongside the Omono River in Daisen, Akita Prefecture. About 18,000 shells had been launched, sending nice rings of sunshine throughout the night time sky.
In the night time program, 28 firms from inside and out of doors the prefecture took half. Competitors had been judged on artistry and technical execution throughout three divisions: one completely spherical “shin-iri warimono” burst utilizing a No. 10 shell, one “jiyu-dama” (free-style) No. 10 shell, and one set of “creative fireworks.”
