A shrine in Japan that organises the famous Naked Man festival will allow women to participate for the first time in its 1,250-year history.
A group of local women in Inazawa, in Japan’s Aichi prefecture, are all set to join the annual Hadaka Matsuri, held in February at the Konomiya shrine.
While the women will remain fully clothed and avoid the traditional violent clash of near-naked men in loincloths, they will participate in the naoizasa ritual, which will require them to carry bamboo grass wrapped in cloth into the shrine grounds.
Imagine how weird we must seem to any extraterrestrial life that’s capable of observing us
Look if they’ve come however many million light years just to creep on us without saying hi then they have no right to judge
I mean would you want to say hi to us after seeing us
How do we know they don’t have naked festivals too.
I think they mean we’re weird because we make women be fully dressed at a naked festival
And they are fasinated by butts
They may as well do these every week and see us as anxious cowards.
