Fireworks Culture Seminar and Simulation Fireworks Exhibition(Sep. 9, 2022, Fuchu City, Japan)
Posted date:2022/06/25
One-day only and in-person event presented by Simulation Fireworks Association
The history of fireworks goes back to around 700 A.D. in China—when the black powder was invented. The gunpowder was brought to the Middle East and Europe via the Silk Road, and, thanks to the development of the science since the 18th century, the gunpowder has evolved into colorful fireworks. Fireworks culture was brought to Japan in early Edo period (About 1600 A.D.) and fireworks have been developed and the shapes, colors, and sounds have been sophisticated. Now, fireworks are about to evolve in a new stage by the digitization technology. We hope you touch the wonderful fireworks culture through this event and love fireworks much more.
