Japanese Firemen Banner Matoi Uniforms Ladder Group Japan Vtg. Photo 19thC.
This quality reprint of a vintage photo shows a group of Japanese firemen, known as hikeshi, pose with their traditional equipment, including a hand-pump, ladder, and a distinctive banner called a matoi. These fire brigades were crucial in the wooden cities of Edo and Meiji period Japan. The matoi was used to signal a brigade's presence at a fire and was a symbol of their identity and courage.
