With around 10,000 participants the nearly nude festival celebrating the New Year is the most popular nude man festival in Japan. After cleansing their bodies in cold water then running around the grounds the men are ready to try for their talismans which are two sticks thrown into the the assembled mob by priests. If you are lucky and end up with a talisman you will enjoy a fruitful harvest and of course culture predicts that the younger generations need to see traditions performed.
