　From 11:10 on January 4th, at the Central Hall on the 1st floor of the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, the New Year's annual Edo Fire Memorial Association's first ward "woodworking" was held at the Central Hall on the 1st floor of the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store.·Dress·"Ladder riding" was performed.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Last year, from the viewpoint of preventing the spread of COVID-19 infection, the event was held on the rooftop with no audience, and was held at the Central Hall on the first floor in two years.　　　　　First of all, the members of the Edo Fire Memorial Association raised a lantern from Mitsuiguchi and entered the central hall on the first floor.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　The first performance is a striking. It looks like a light work, but the weight of the garment is heavy at around 15-20kg, and it dances when a bunch decoration called Maren is raised or rotated.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Next, the performance of the biggest show "ladder riding". After posting the curtain of "Happy new year!", On the ladder, techniques such as "Tomi", "Stop turtle", "Belly turtle", and "Kita crush" will be shown. On an unstable ladder, while maintaining balance, on the head of three and a half (about 6.3m) above the ground, the feat that is rolled out one after another is a masterpiece.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Finally, we performed a woodworking song. All are stylish and sophisticated traditional performances full of New Year's atmosphere.　The Edo Fire Memorial Association was formed in 1939 as a descendant of the town fire extinguisher in the Edo period and the Meiji period fire brigade, inheriting tradition and culture, and the first group is located in Chuo-ku and part of Chiyoda-ku. I hear that the area from the second group (Igumi) to the tenth group (Sengumi) have jurisdiction over Chuo-ku.
