Illustration
From Hirayama Fireworks, Illustrated Catalog of Garden & Lawn Pieces of the Hirayama Fireworks (c. 1890), p. 15.
Printed in the Japanese fireworks and balloon catalogue from the late Meiji era, this scene captures the launch of a fire balloon. A striped orb rises skyward while villagers, children, and dogs whirl below in delight. It’s lift-off as an event: ephemeral, shared, and just a little chaotic.
Part of the ArdorU’s Fireworks Collection.
