Notes: The neighbors who find fires in front of their houses all share the names of different foodstuffs, including: Wagyu (和牛), a Japanese breed of beef cattle, Otoro (大とろ), the fattiest part of a tuna, Fukahire (鱶鰭) which is a shark's fin, Kanie (蟹江), a bay crab and Iberiko, a type of pig. The President of the neighborood fire volunteers (shōbōdan) carries two small wooden blocks with him. These are known as hyōshigi (拍子木). The group uses the hyōshigi during their night-patrols (yomawari), striking the two wooden pieces together to make noise and warn people about the dangers of fire.
