Sticks Around: The Naked Festival裸体节

③ Little surprise, then, that Japan has a festival dedicated to baring裸露 (almost) all.
④ The showpiece展示机会 of the centuries-old annual pageant庆典, taking place today, is a mêlée混乱的人群 of up to 10,000 loincloth遮羞布-clad身披 men.

⑥The lights are switched off, and the temple's priests hurl 100 coveted梦寐以求的 bundles of sacred sticks, and some decoys假冒品, into the crowd.
⑦One pair, the shingi, is especially valuable: whoever catches it and thrusts it into a box of rice wins the title of "lucky man" for a year, as well as a cash prize—an honour worth the cold and the crowd.
