Forms of dilation: (Hirogari—放): A bamboo stick, when split and spread out with paper pasted on it, will make a fan that moves the air. A rake, held by an aged man in the Noh play Takasago, will collect rubbish; the huge rake of Otorisama, an object of good luck, is said to be used to rake good fortune in; a folding fan is held together at a point but opens up. Forms that spread out radially are mechanical ones that can be opened or folded like fans and umbrellas. In the glimpse of the lighted ball of the rocket that is shot up high into the summer sky and cracks open, showers out, and fades, lies a promise of flaring beauty.
