Firework displays are enjoyed at major gatherings and events such as an annual celebration in Japan called Hanabi Taikai, which means Fireworks Festival.
The annual Akagawa Fireworks Festival, which was held in Tsuruoka, Yamagata Prefecture on Aug. 18, saw thousands of spectators flock into the city to watch the jaw-dropping pyrotechnics that lit up the dark summer sky.
One noteworthy fireworks display featured at the festival was made possible by manufacturer Marugo from Yamanashi Prefecture.
The company managed to attract thousands of new fans thanks to its specialty luminescence-style fireworks, or jikansa hakkou shiki hanabi in Japanese, according to SoraNews24.
