At the venue of the 2023 Lake Biwa Fireworks Festival, a blindfold fence is installed to surround the paid viewing area under the pretext of ``preventing accidents due to increased density of people''. The following article summarizes how the blindfold fence is installed.

Below is a movie of watching fireworks over a blindfold fence. The bottom half of the blindfold fence cannot be seen at all, but the upper half is only covered with black mesh fabric, so the other side can be seen through. For this reason, although the small fireworks bursting at the bottom could not be seen, the large fireworks that hit the sky were visible even through the fence.

Below is a cut out part of the movie. Blue fireworks are clearly visible over the upper half of the blindfold fence.
At the 2023 Lake Biwa Fireworks Festival, there were many fireworks that were launched quite high, and cheers were sometimes raised when the fireworks jumped over the blindfold fence. Even so, I couldn't see the lower half at all, so there was a long period of time when I could only hear the sound of 'do-do-da-n' and couldn't see the fireworks.
Next, I tried shooting fireworks at the break of the blindfold fence. When you play the movie, you can understand in one shot how the appearance changes with the presence or absence of black cloth.
Below is a part of the movie cut out. You can see that the fireworks are clearly visible even through the black cloth.
However, since the brightness is attenuated by the black cloth, it will be less powerful than when you see it in person.
In places where there are many gaps between the upper and lower halves of the blindfold fence, many people gathered to aim at the gaps and set up their cameras.
◆ Easy-to-view areas other than the free viewing area
The blindfold fence near the Biwako Cultural Center was not covered with black cloth from the morning, making it a great viewing spot.
Also, there was an area that was not surrounded by a blindfold fence around the Biwako Hall. This area is not designated as a free viewing area, but there was no announcement asking us to move.
There was no blindfold fence on the opposite side of the Otsu Municipal Senior Citizens Welfare Center, but it was not suitable for watching fireworks because of the densely packed tall trees.
The following article summarizes whether the blindfold fence was really effective in relieving congestion.
