Here’s a video and blog I did on Dezomeshiki - A firefighting demonstration and parade put on every year by the Tokyo Fire Department. It features the hikeshi - old Japanese firefighters - doing acrobatics on ladders. The girl in the video who helps me pronounce Dezomeshiki is one of my school’s former students that I bumped into completely by accident.
