I unexpectedly found Hashigonori performance (acrobatic performance on a ladder) at Kyodo Station of Odakyu Line (west Tokyo).
The performance was developed by scaffolding construction workers in the Edo era. They worked as fire fighters when necessary.
Today, the local governments have their fire stations and public fire fighters. But private groups, especially scaffolding construction workers, sometimes help the stations (fire prevention, fire practice, etc.)
Members held the ladder stand with hook-like instruments. Performers went up the ladder and showed us acrobatic actions.
They also sang special songs called “Kiyari”. at of culture in the Edo period.
