Definition
The kamuro is a very dense spherical break whose gold or silver stars burn for a long time and fall in a tight crown, like a head of hair made of sparkling trails. The name is Japanese and refers to a child's round, drooping haircut. Kamuro stars contain a high proportion of glitter that crackles softly as it descends, and the sphere slowly deforms into a dome and then a bell. It is the richest fallout effect, between the willow and golden rain, reserved for shells of 100 to 300 mm; a 200 mm kamuro fills the sky above a site by itself. It forms the bouquet of many finales, sometimes with a coloured pistil, sometimes as a “brocade kamuro” with fatter trails.
In practice, for the display company
The kamuro is often the most expensive shell of the show and the one the client expects: PyroDesk highlights it on the quote and tracks its stock by calibre. Its long, heavy fallout defines the safety perimeter of the finale; PyroSimulator, which extends star life with calibre, shows the full bell before purchase.
