Visual Artist for Vol. 132: Night Bomb Shells

Jinta Hiyamara

Japan

For Vinyl Moon Vol. 131, we found inspiration in an unexpected place: the pages of a nineteenth-century Japanese fireworks catalogue. For the first time, we built a Vinyl Moon jacket around public-domain artwork, breathing new life into illustrations created more than 140 years ago.

Published by the Hirayama Fireworks Company of Yokohama, this richly illustrated trade catalogue offers a fascinating glimpse into the artistry, innovation, and imagination of Meiji-era Japan. Created to advertise spectacular pyrotechnic displays, its pages blur the line between technical illustration and pure imagination, transforming bursts of light into impossible blooms, intricate geometric patterns, and dreamlike spectacles designed to captivate audiences around the world.

The company was founded in 1877 by entrepreneur Jinta Hirayama at a time when Japan was rapidly opening to international trade. Looking well beyond Japan's shores, Hirayama built one of the country's earliest globally minded fireworks businesses, producing English-language catalogues and marketing his products abroad. He is believed to have been the first Japanese citizen to register a U.S. copyright, reflecting his ambition to share his work with an international audience.

While the identity of the catalogue's illustrator remains unknown, perhaps that's part of the magic. Never intended to hang on a gallery wall, these illustrations quietly outlived their original purpose, reminding us that some of the most extraordinary art isn't found in museums. Sometimes it's hiding in the pages of an old catalogue, just waiting to be discovered.
