Japan's eccentric custom -- Naked Festival, naked men and women for a lucky stick

the city of the west da temple in okayama county, japan, is a small town with more than 6,000 inhabitants, and its name is derived from a thousand-year-old bastion — the oracle of the west.

every year, there are “naked festivals”, which make the town famous.

the naked festival, also known as the "yun day", is one of the three oldest in japan.

every year during the third week of february, there is a nudity festival, and saturday night is the culmination of an event, with nearly 10,000 men coming every year to the ceremony of nudity fighting for “polywood”, and visitors are countless.

they're only traditional japanese rags, almost naked, and this was at the end of the edo era.

on the day of the festival, at midnight, all the lights went out together, and two of the trees were thrown from the second floor of the temple, and the participants began to grab the wood, which usually needed to be formed.

when the wood was taken, the crowd gradually receded in circles, slowly moving out of the monastery.

this ceremony has ended.

"bowwood" is dug from 6 inches long and 3 inches in diameter.

the reason why people are obsessed with the wood goes back 1,300 years.

at that time, when the western temple had just been built, a monk from naryan had passed on a ritual called the “reformation”.

at this ceremony, the monks wrapped the treasures of the temple in “oxy-oxy paper” and placed them behind a thousand-hand view of the audio and video for 14 days, praying for national peace, for the five valleys and for the prosperity of the people.

at the end of the ceremony, the paper used to wrap the treasure was given to older believers.

the families who had received it had a good time and a good meal in one year, and each year the believers had fought for it, which had led to the practice of naked rituals.

by 500 years ago, in the time of muromachi, the fragile parchment turned into a succulent tree.

at the time, the master of the family had ordered that two pieces of wood should be thrown from the monastery and that the male followers should fight freely.

the traditional rags of the japanese system were opened 10 metres long, in accordance with the traditional approach, and then rounded the waist a few times, and then stood between the two parts.

it needs help from someone else, and it has to be very strong, and when it's in the back, it's like pulling a cart so hard that it's tight.

most of the people in the department are screaming.

it is said that the rags are water-coated and that those who wear them are treated like torture.
