Really cool video of handmade Japanese sparklers, with enough info to diy if so inclined…

Pretty cool, are you going to make some of the sparklers?

In my many decades of doing pyrotechnics I have only seen Senko Hanabi in person once. They are very beautiful items and really the only good ones come from Japan, and even then they vary widely.

Tried to make my own long ago but Lampblack is a very messy substance! Gave up after it got on everything, literally everything.

O_O Holy hell, that’s why sparklers look different in all the video games I play!

Pain in the a__ to deal with only occasionally on oil lanterns.
