Mariko Ando
Chairman of Tsuchiura All Japan Fireworks Competition
Mayor of Tsuchiura City
Welcome to Tsuchiura for the 92nd Tsuchiura All Japan Fireworks Competition! On behalfof citizens, I would like to give my warm welcome to all spectators here today.
Last year's competition, the first time in three years, was held with the situation of Covid-19,
which was conducted by taking various measures against infections.
With safe event operation as our first priority, we changed the regulations for fireworks andthe specifications of the launch site. Also, safety measures were reviewed and re-examined inorder to prevent crowd accidents.
Under such situations, we were greatly impressed by many wonderful fireworks presented by
the pyrotechnicians who participated from all over the country, with their hearts and souls intodisplays.
This year, with taking appropriate infection control measures, it is the first competition in awhile that has no restrictions. I am sure everyone has great expectations for viewing thefireworks in the free atmosphere that outdoor venue offers to you all.
The competition, that marks 92nd this year, was started by the deceased Reverend BaihoAkimoto, a Buddhism priest of the Jinryuji Temple using his own money in order to save thebusiness people from the recession during that time, for a memorial service for the Kasumigaura
Naval Air Force members died in the war, to thank harvest in autumn, and to comfort farmers inKasumigaura lakeside in 1925（T14）. After that, the deceased Giichi Kitajima, a pyrotechnicianof Tsuchiura and a chairman of the Japan Fireworks Industry, carried this competition forward.
Now it is regarded as one of the greatest fireworks competitions in Japan.
This honorable competition consists of three divisions, ‘Starmines’, ‘Size 10 shells’, and‘Original displays’. Prestigious awards including the Minister of Economy, Trade & Industry
will be given to a winner of each division. Especially, winning the Prime Minister Award is agreat goal for the pyrotechnicians, who have the world's highest level of excellence, and it is aperfect stage for them to present all their refined skills.
I would like everyone to enjoy the art of light and sound created by pyrotechnicians.
Lastly, I would like to express my deep appreciation and welcome for the pyrotechniciansfrom long way through the country, the judges who accepted this job and all the people involvedin this competition to give us cooperation and assistance.
