Welcome to the Naked Man Festival!

I've teased you long enough; it's time to get started on this! I took loads of pictures of this very unique festival, but I'll try not to overwhelm. I'm going to walk you through the day as we saw it... And here are two of the first "naked men" that we saw! You notice that they're not entirely naked - the only truly naked man is the "shin-otoko" (we'll talk more about him later). I went with a little group from CCEA and my neighbor Mariko. It was fun!
