July 6, 20232 yr Moderator This was fascinating to watch. I wouldn't have guessed just how labor intensive making shell fireworks is. The largest take nearly a full year to create. The Japanese company this video features is a multi-generational, family owned business. The Shakudama is a 18.5kg / 19 lb beast that you'll see launched at festivals outside Tokyo and urban areas. They get larger than that! The ni-shakudama, san-shakudama and yon-shakudama will literally blow you away with it's 750m launch height and width. The latter weighs 575 pounds! Fr.

Maybe even a fairly large one! We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.
