On January 4th, at Nihonbashi Takashimaya/Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, the New Year's annual tradition, the technique of town fire extinguishing that has been passed down since the Edo period <woodworking, knitting, ladder riding, etc.> It was shown.
10:00 Nihonbashi Takashimaya (front hall on the first floor, in front of the front entrance)
11:20 Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store (Central Hall on the 1st floor of the main building)
12:00 Nihonbashi Takashimaya (front hall on the first floor, in front of the front entrance)
Performed by members of the Edo Fire Memorial Association First Ward, the performances include `` woodworking '' sung as a shout or signal, `` wearing '' which shakes the symbol of the group and inspired friends, `` ladder riding '' that dances brilliantly on a ladder ".
There are many traditional crafts that feel the essence of Edo.
The biggest highlight is the "ladder riding" technique.
From techniques such as "Tomi", "Belly turtle", "Kir crush", "Back turtle", etc., to "Combination technique" in which two people perform at the same time, I enjoyed the feat of the Tobi profession up close.
