Description
Every year on the second Saturday of January, this "strange" festival is held in Aizumisato, Fukushima Prefecture. Pantless men split into teams and pull on either side of a massive rice bag made of straw to decide the fate of that years harvest. It a most moving "naked" tug-o-war festival.
