Sept 19th, 2017: Fireworks

Ever since the Chinese invented gunpowder people have been using it for work, war, and amusement.
Japan once used gunpowder to become experts at war, but now have become experts at entertainment.



Quote:
Summer in Japan means colorful explosions in the sky, where some 200 firework festivals called “hanabi taikai” are held across the country in July and August, a tradition that dates back to the early 18th century. At many events, pyrotechnicians actually compete to create the best firework show, with extreme attention to detail in scale, color, and design.


Quote:
Photographer Keisuke trekked to several shows this summer and captured the most eye-opening moments of these nighttime events.


Looking at a photograph of a white, or mostly white display, you can see the intricate interweave of trails. However my experience
is seeing them in real time there isn't time to appreciate that. It just lights up the sky very bright and doesn't have the impact of
multi-color displays.



Of course there will be people who like the white displays, just like there will be people who don't like fireworks at all, along with
other unamerican, antisocial, deviates and misfits.
