As part of the commemorative events for the 10th Echigo-Tsumari Art Field, the “Snow Fireworks” are making a comeback for the first time in six years.

Enjoy a magical night unique to Echigo-Tsumari, where a “field of light” created by art (“Light of the Earth”) and sun-like fireworks (“Light of the Night Sky”) create a mesmerizing interplay of light and shadow. This year’s Snow Fireworks ticket is an excellent value, as it includes an ETAT Passport to view all Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale artworks.

Program Details

・Snow Fireworks (3-shaku shells, Music Star Mine)

・Takahashi Kyota, *Gift for Frozen Village 2027*
This artwork brings “spring” a little early to Matsudai in winter, a season when the landscape is blanketed in snow and colors grow scarce.Inspired by the observation that “Everyone in this region plants flowers in their gardens and eagerly awaits spring,” the artist conceived the theme “Gift for Frozen Village.” By transforming the pure white snowfield into a flower garden and making colorful “seeds of light” bloom, the work expresses the spring that people in this snowy region so eagerly await.
