Fireworks are launched as part of the 'Uto Jizo Festival' in Uto City, Kumamoto Prefecture, which is said to have begun about 370 years ago. The 'Uto Jizo Festival' is one of the three great summer festivals of Higo, alongside the 'Kawashiri Shoro Nagashi' and 'Yamaga Lantern Festival.' Each year, approx. 1500 shells color the night sky of Uto in a spectacular sight, making it one of the prefecture's premier festivals that draws large crowds.
