Japan Fire Drill Acrobatic Display Fireman Stunts Ladders Vtg. Photo 19thC.
This quality reprint of a vintage photo shows a large crowd watching Japanese firemen perform acrobatic stunts on tall ladders during a public fire drill. These demonstrations, known as dezomeshiki, originated in the Edo period. The ladder-top acrobatics were a practical skill used by firemen to spot fires from a high vantage point and became a celebrated New Year's tradition to promote fire safety and showcase the firemen's bravery and agility.
