Thousands take part in Japan’s "Naked Festival"

17-02-2020 13:32

Ten thousand men stripped off to take part in “Hadaka Matsuri”, an annual naked festival in Japan’s Honshu Island.
The loincloth-clad competitors gathered at the Saidaiji Temple in Okayama Prefecture for the event to celebrate prosperity and fertility.
Their aim was to snatch one of two 20cm-long “shingi” wooden sticks thrown by a priest into the crowd.
The sticks, thrown among 100 bundles of twigs, are meant to bring a year of good fortune to whoever is lucky enough to catch them.
