The 37th Mikuni Fireworks -Fireworks (Hanabi) Festival in Fukui 2017, Part 1-

Today (Aug. 11th, 2017), Mikuni Fireworks will be held at Mikuni Sunset Beach in Mikuni-cho, Sakai City, Fukui Prefecture. The highlight of this fireworks festival is water fireworks. The pyrotechnician throws fireworks directly into the ocean.

Other than the water fireworks, there will be 1-shaku-dama (round fireworks with a circumference of about 12-inch/30cm shells) fireworks which create an illumination 12,598-inch / 320 meters in diameter on the ocean, 2-shaku-dama (round fireworks with a circumference of about 24-inch / 60cm shells) fireworks which create an illumination 17,716-inch / 450 meters in diameter on the ocean and several other kinds of fireworks. For about one hour, about 10,000 of fireworks exploding will light up the sky splendidly.

I would like to share the video of Mikuni fireworks which one of our co-workers went see last year and took. Please enjoy it! T.F
