420kg Giant Firework Shell Story | The YONSHAKUDAMA ★ ONLY in JAPAN

Japan's Fireworks Town is Katakai, Niigata Prefecture, and they host an annual festival dedicated to launching them high into the sky over scenic rice paddies. How big are they? The bigger, the better!
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?

Honestly, when you look at the basic structure of the two, they are ultimately no different. The only difference really comes down to intent of their use. One just happens to have pretty colors. You could use either interchangeably via tubes or other methods of launching.

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!

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 do not think a vest punie pladtick helmet will protect from a mega blast like that.I think rip you in shreds lol.screw a punie hand getnade compare that lol.

[@Steve211Ucdhihifvshi]

its the shock wav3 that kills you even if the inital fireball and shrapnel dont, in an explosion that big ir would suck the air from your lungs as well. You would burn, melt, explode etc

[@NoizyBoyUS]

And I thought spending $500 on fountains and cakes made me feel like a badass.

[@utubestalker.dotcom]

17:47 But that YONSHAKUDAMA only lasted 15 seconds and cost 3x as much as you spent

[@gojewla]

Cakes - yum!

[@Mark-vn7et]

uTubeStalker DotCom a 40inch for 1500 bucks? I think it’s a lot more expensive

[@ronskancke1489]

I just love the sound of the diesel truck!

[@ericthompson8130]

That was still awesome!

[@TypetwoAbsolute]

I'd show up for these festivals but then I might start hearing an extra footstep

You should never fear failure. Failure provides one with an opportunity to learn things you wouldn't learn otherwise. So embrace failure and turn it into a growing experience.

[@cphoover11]

You should fear giant bombs though...

[@watch6994]

Inspiring by Yukihura Souma.

[@lauriepenner350]

If your job is crafting explosives you should probably worry about failure at least a little bit.

[@anarghya743]

[@Michael-zj3cn]

This failure means the whole town is dead. So yes, fear failure in this case

[@jayaplin2691]

Definitely adding that to the bucket list must see in person to get the full affect

[@mho...]

dayum 3h fireworks?! thats just great!

[@hellogoodbye5006]

So I like the organization and the precision of the first part of the yonshakudama

[@jimtryner9474]

I wish I could go and see this spectacular event.

[@Al-Charko]

You can, i just found out they made this in to a real life thing

[@SweetDelarosa4716]

[@karlbuchanan1363]

You can probably watch it on video

[@lowlandraised7266]

I wanna physically feel the boom of this thing. That has always been the most exciting part of fireworks to me was the feel not so much the pretty factor.

[@Fedkek]

i would pay at least 50€ just to see it live

[@miller44]

I love how the smaller fireworks are stored on wooden shelves and tightly packed together

[@ItsASkelley]

dont worry they been doing it that way for years

[@helphowdoichangepictwoyear9446]

I want to see how the bigger fireworks are stored

[@wahyunbcfikram2218]

I LOVE YOU

[@ryanmitchell6721]

😂 You might not want to go inside an American fireworks outlet then. They pack more fireworks and cardboard boxes into the back of a sheet metal cargo trailer than you would believe. 💣 💥

[@informationoverload2487]

@@ryanmitchell6721 that’s how you’re supposed to pack them.

[@irishjoymontezon4042]

I love how the factory was all flamable.

[@grafxgear]

If it was metal it could cause sparks...
