When it comes to firecrackers and fireworks displays, I’m not the biggest fan. I keep thinking of all the wasted money that goes into having just a few seconds of fun, not to mention how dangerous it can sometimes be . The closest that I would probably enjoy some version of them is holding sparklers in my hands. But again, they only last a few seconds and sometimes the wind will even make that shorter so I’d rather not just hold one in my hands.

Tenohira Hanabi is a sparkler holder so you can enjoy them a little bit longer and safely in the palm of your hands. It’s a jar named “sparkler in your palm” literally and it has no other function except to keep the sparklers, specifically the senko hanabi (incense fireworks), in your hands. It’s a glass jar that has dimples on both sides so you can keep the T-shaped sparkler dangling inside the jar.
This means that once you light up these tiny sparklers, you’ll be able to look at them up close. You’re also keeping them lighted and sparkling a bit longer than when you’re holding them since the glass jar protects it from the winds. I’m not sure though if it can be used for regular sized sparklers so you will have to enjoy the incense fireworks when using the Tenohira Hanabi.
If not used as a sparkler holder, maybe it can also function as a regular jar where you can store small things like candies. Or since it looks cute enough, it can also just be a decorative object until the next time you need to light up some sparklers again.
