Film / Senko Hnabi Sparklers

Senko-hanabi is a thing that reminds us of summer since the Edo period in Japan. Ryota Tsutsui (46) has preserved the tradition of orange sparks for 25 years as a Senko-hanabi craftsman. However, the tradition is fading away while the domestic fireworks market shrinks and Chinese fireworks are emerging. Only two companies have survived in Japan now. This is a tale of people who devote their life to preserve these beautiful and fleeting sparks.
