I'm thrilled by these photos of dezomeshiki from the 1890s. The dezomeshiki I saw as a child in my hometown didn't feature firefighters performing tricks on ladders, but I still have fond memories of it. If you have the chance, I encourage you to experience it too.
Thanks for sharing. I have planned to attend one of these for years, but sadly work always intervenes…
Here is a photo of a dezomeshiki in the 1890s:
