Hadaka Matsuri

Haddaka Matsuri is a fun festival that is celebrated in Japan every year. At this festival, a lot of men come together to have fun and show their bravery.

One of the important things about this festival is that men have to wear only a loincloth, some kind of underwear that covers their private parts. It is important because it is believed to have started as a way to make sure that everyone is equal, no matter how rich or poor they may be.

During the festival, men run around and try to get a hold of a special stick called the gohei. The gohei is believed to be very powerful and will bring good luck to those who can catch it.

But it's not just about the gohei - there's lots of exciting things going on too! Some men even carry portable shrines called mikoshi. They dance and cheer, making lots of noise and having fun.

Everyone in the festival is very happy and excited, but it's important to remember to be respectful too. Some people might get too excited and start to fight or push, but you should always remember to be kind and stay safe.

At the end of the day, everyone goes home feeling happy and a little bit stronger from all the fun and excitement.
