Comments - Fantastic depiction of a tremendous parade of firemen during a festival. A seemingly endless line of tightly packed firefighters marches along, the men holding their tobiguchi or fire hooks upright and carrying lanterns and large brigade standards called matoi. Bamboo ladders frame the scene at either side, with a crowd in the foreground watching their fellow firemen pass. A terrific image with wonderful detail, and a great subject for a collector interested in Edo era fire fighting.
