Nude Festival - Japan

Back


February 2006
For most of the year, Kounoniya is a peaceful place. But in winter, religious ritual joins with drunken delirium to create one of Japan's most extraordinary sights -- the Nude Festival.

In temperatures close to zero, a designated 'Spirit Man' is stripped and beaten by the crowd. The ritual, which dates back over a thousand years, is meant to absorb the city's punishment and brings good luck. As one participant admits: "It's more important than my wife."

dnjstnddltoRlemf, 80% of hate videos on youtube are made by japanese???? No, no, no,no. You are telling a lie. It is true that we had connection with Hitler, but today NOT. We are peaceful nation today, unlike China, which sells weapons to the third world countries, where they are killing each other with guns made in China. What is your country? Can you show me that your country has a pure and clean history? No. If so, don't blame others for what your country also has done to this day.

blacth79, I see your comment everywhere on youtube. You will be punished by God some time severly because you continue to hold hatred against us, who do not do anything against you. Do you know the Japanese proverb, "Dig a hole for someone, and you will fall into two." Curse will ruin your health.

dnjstnddltoRlemf, you are too naive to believe that in nankin we killed over 3 million ppl. What could we kill 3 million out of just 200 thousand population of the then nankin? Liar. Pathetic. Today ppl in the world eat sushi, raw fish, which does not mean eating raw fish is not barbaric. If we are filthy ppl, you must show that I am filthy. How can you prove that I am so, though you don't know anything about me. Stop cursing someone that you don't know.
