Hadaka Matsuri is a 500-year-old Japanese festival that also goes by the name "Naked Festival." The participants wear nothing but a Loincloth called fundoshi and jostle for lucky objects thrown by priests. The festival takes place in the winter every year, and thousands of men participate in hopes of having good luck throughout the year.
