Naganohara Fireworks Show

Fireworks that disappear in a flash of light are probably the furthest thing away from the eternity that our Shogun desires. But people's feelings don't just disappear, and it's those feelings that give fireworks their purpose.

—Yoimiya^[1]

The Naganohara Fireworks Show is a festive event run by Naganohara Fireworks. It is well known throughout Inazuma, and is performed at various festivals throughout the year.^[2]

During Yoimiya's Story Quest, Carassius Auratus Chapter: Act I - Dreamlike Timelessness, the Traveler helps her gather materials for the show during the Summer Festival.^[3]

Overview

The Naganohara Family prepares fireworks for each participating family, including paper slips containing the recipes for crafting fireworks in each order.^[3]

During the summer, people like to sit on Amakane Island to enjoy the fireworks show over Inazuma City.^[4]

For different people, fireworks represent different things, like friendship, marriage, beliefs. As Yoimiya noticed, people tend to associate fireworks with things precious to them.^[1]

History

The rainbows become fireworks, and they my wishes know, my wishes rise into the skies, and through the night they show.

—Old Inazuman folksong, Yoimiya's Character Story: Character Story 5

The Naganohara Fireworks Show first began over a century ago with a commemorative show set up by the Yashiro Commission, with fireworks created by the most expert pyrotechnicians. The show began to occur more frequently as fireworks became more common, and families began to participate via the paper slip system by setting off their favorite fireworks, turning it into a cherished tradition.^[2]

50 years ago, Imatani Saburou proposed to his wife Imatani Kaori at the event.^[5] Takami from the Yashiro Commission helps manage the fireworks show on Amakane Island. Watching the fireworks show as a kid even inspired her to work on the fireworks show growing up to help people appreciate the beauty of fireworks.^[6]

On the first year Yoimiya took over, Kamisato Ayaka requested that she add the Electro Mitsudomoe, the emblem of the Raiden Shogun, into the fireworks show, as the Shogun herself would be watching from Tenshukaku. The fireworks display that year was an elaborate scene of Inazuma City, and when viewed from an angle from Tenshukaku, the fireworks aligned to create the Electro Mitsudomoe.^[2]
