Illustrated Catalogue of Daylight Bomb Shells No. 44

Illustrated Catalogue of Daylight Bomb Shells No. 44, Jinta Hirayama, 1883 

This adorable die is an illustration from a catalog of daytime “fireworks” created by Japanese pyrotechnist Jinta Hirayama in 1877. These creations were closer to open-bottomed balloons than the fireworks we know today. 

Jinta Hirayama was an enterprising pyrotechnist who, in 1877, founded The Hirayama Fireworks company in Yokohama. Hirayama is from Mikawa Province (modern-day Aichi Prefecture).
