Washoi Washoi!

Went to the Hadaka Matsuri in Okayama this past weekend. Pics courtesy of Simona (for reasons to be explained later).

Help! But I really did pay the parking fee at the hotel counter!!!


Just reminiscisissin' ol' times.


Richard, Ken, and I getting ready for the Hadaka Matsuri. Just what is Hadaka Matsuri you ask?


1) It is something you had to be bussed to from the Okayama train station.


2) It is something that had to be supervised by traffic cops


3) and real cops.


4) It is something that causes Katie licking her chops.


Hint 1.


Hint 2 (okay it's not really a hint but I thought this was pretty funny).


Wohhh.








This is Hadaka Matsuri. Much has been written about it so in lieu of trying to explian it I'll just include a link.

Simona's attempts at catching my naked ass.






Someone must've gotten the Shingi and is simultaneously being

1) escorted by a line of cops

2) beaten to a pulp by naked men (don't have action photos, but I'm sure it goes on in there).

Finally, a progression of the platform where Shingi is dropped. I was in the thick of it, unlike these other naked chumps standing and watching from the sidelines.
