So odd festival #1, a photo from Fukushima, Tohoku

Photographer's Note

This was taken 7 years ago. Every Jan.7 this odd festival is held in Fukusima, Aizu. Around 100 almost naked men rise up the roop in the shrine and pray thier health and welfare. Tommorw I will go there again and will shot them.

Hello Takero, There are many Japanese festivals that are very odd. Funny to see these sexy men. Beautiful interior too. Very amusing also the feet up there that do not belong to anyone :).
Happy New Year

Bonjour Takero,

Je suis toujours surpris par tous ces festivals au Japon. Il semblerait que toutes les raisons sont bonnes pour se dйguiser ou pour en enlever un couche, ou encore en mettre une.

Amicalement

Serge

Hello Takero,
This is an amusing photo of a festival that looks more odd than beautiful. The young men seem to have a lot of fun and I can only hope that nobody would fall down and hurt himself or the others. But why do they have to wear diapers?
Kind regards,
Gert
