Kazusa Junisha Hadaka (Nude) Matsuri Festival 2009 上総十二社祭り

One of the few Hadaka (Nude) Matsuri where women also participate. This festival was held on Sept. 13, 2009 by Tamasaki Shrine near Kazusa-Ichinomiya Station (JR Sotobo Line) in Chiba Prefecture, Japan. Portable shrines from twelve shrines (junisha) in the same area are paraded and rushed to the beach with hundreds of people surrounding each one. At the beach in ankle-deep water, they jostle and toss the mikoshi in the air. In the evening, they return to town near the train station and parade the shrines again.

In Japanese festivals, "nude" means they (the men) are shirtless or maybe only in loin cloths.
