That's the spirit!
Meet the YONSHAKUDAMA
Japan's biggest fireworks shell weighs about 420kg (925 pounds)
It was created by Masanori Honda in 1986. The world had never seen anything like this!
It was the largest ever artillery firework shell in 2014 when it entered the Guinness Book of World Records. Since then, more ridiculous sizes have been launched but it all started with Honda-san. He's been launching up the insane 420 kg (925 lb) "Yonshakudama" Firework Artillery Shell for decades.
The Katakai Matsuri is held annually on September 9th and 10th for over 400 years.
Where is Katakai?

"A year's work becomes an exciting 15 seconds." Ah, the story of my love life.

"Can we own a firearm?" Japan Gov: "no, go play air soft" "Can we build half a ton bomb and launch it in the air from a mortar?" Japan Gov: "Hai"

Mr. Masanori Honda is an example for business executives everywhere. He's older, but he remains open-minded and willing to make necessary adjustments in the course of doing business. Those that refuse to change with the times die by the side of the road while forward-thinking execs pass them by. Bravo, Honda-san!

Honda-san saying "Oh, yes, it's very dangerous" while smiling like a 10 year-old in a candy shop is a mood
-
Holy crap, the mortar they fire it out of is literally a pipe from super mario
-
"When this explodes, how loud is it?" "Yes."
-
everything in Japan from farming fruits to making fireworks is made with so much pride and and care its almost everything they make is a form of art.
-
It would almost be worth the round trip tickets from the USA just to see that one shell go up! How awesome the whole show must be in person!
-
This man's passion and pride of what he does makes me grin with happiness.
-
17:46 is when it actually goes off. You’re welcome.

USA: we have the biggest, brightest, loudest, best fireworks Katakai: hold my Yonshakudama

He could have said, "We were going for a Mine Effect instead of launching a higher breaking shell", but this man has pride and wont take credit for a misfire. Still really cool to see. Thanks for showing the fireworks from a father distance and some closer up. Really made for better viewing the show, and the fast forward to see the Yonshakudama was fun to watch also. Glad he did it this way instead of just not filming it at all and just going to the Yonshakudama Shells and the end. Adding a filming of one going off properly really showed how much design and build time goes into these shells which is well deserved!!! Thanks for the fun video. Now if I could just learn to build them here in the U.S. I'd be the King of Pyrotechnics in the U.S.!! One can dream about doing this, especially a pyro like myself.. Here's to a perfect wind speed to clear the smoke and no Duds!! Cheers... :)

I just saw Mr.Beast spend $600,000 on fireworks and not a single one was of this quality right here.

Beautiful tradition. Love that the artistry and cultural heritage is protected and passed on in practices such as this.
