Shinoda’s fireworks are in-process fireworks that are made by mixing sulfur, saltpeter, and paulownia ash, which are rare nowadays, and applying them to a pattern drawn on a board.
The fireworks, which take about a month to make, are about 15 meters high and about 25 meters wide, and each year a different theme is drawn.
