Evening Division Fireworks

Two different fireworks competitions are held in the evening division of fireworks.

Two "size 10" fireworks are launched in the competition

In the first: the "set categories" competition, fireworks technicians must launch two large fireworks into the sky. The first of the two is called the "assigned firework", and will be graded for the technician's control over their craft. Judges will evaluate all technical aspects of the firework, such as its number of layers, shape, and timing of fading.

Koishikawa Korakuen Gardens

Made in 1629, Koishikawa Botanical Gardens is a traditional Japanese garden located near Tokyo Dome. Quite a few of the scenes in the garden are inspired by famous Chinese landscapes. The garden is loved by locals for its cherry blossoms in the spring and its fall foliage.

Choose Rich Wooden Tones

Natural wood is a material that frequently features in the decor of traditional living rooms, but you rarely see pale or blond woods. Instead, like in this living room by Charbonneau Interiors, wooden furniture and decor tend to be in dark and rich tones. Highly glossed dark wooden pieces are also a common feature.

Consider a Statement Light

Lighting can transform a classic living room by giving it a more luxurious look and feel like in this room by Thomas Guy Interiors. Cascading crystal chandeliers, candle style chandeliers and forged wrought iron lights can all create a tasteful impact.

Hang Some Historical Art

Historic art, whether landscapes, portraits, or still life, are very much at home in classic living spaces like in this living room by LeeAnn Baker Interiors.

Keep It Fresh

Traditional rooms like this one from Mosaic Architects don't speak to any specific age group and could belong to a family or couple, young or old.

Mix Elegance with Comfort

Although you occasionally see delicate armchairs in traditional living rooms, the emphasis when it comes to seating is really on comfortable, sit-back-and-relax pieces.

Highlight Exposed Beams

While it's normal to see a fair bit of color in traditional living rooms, an all-neutral space like this one is more than acceptable. And while a lot of frills and details are also often found in traditional rooms, they're not mandatory.
