Japan’s “Naked Festival” event has a history of 1,250 years. In the past, it was considered a festival that only men could participate in. But this year is different. For the first time, a shrine in Aichi Prefecture allowed 40 women to apply to participate, breaking the tradition of the past thousand years. In this regard, the staff expressed that they welcome the participation of women and believe that this is an important step towards gender equality.
According to media reports from the “Daily Mail” and “Yomiuri Shimbun”, this year’s “Naked Festival” (Naked Festival) at Owari Daikokuryo Shrine (Kokufugu Shrine) in Inazawa City, Aichi Prefecture, will be held from 3 p.m. on February 22 Initially, it is expected that more than 10,000 people will come to participate in the grand event. What is different this time is that Owari Daikokurei Shrine broke Japan’s 1,250-year historical record by allowing 40 women from Inazawa City, Aichi Prefecture, to participate in the annual festival.
Suzuki Ayaka, the 36-year-old vice-president of the local women’s group “Enyoukai”, held a press conference at the shrine and said that they planned to participate in the naked festival held on February 22 this year and pray for the safety of the whole family. At the same time, they prayed that the victims of the Noto Peninsula earthquake would be safe as much as possible. Return to daily life quickly.
The report pointed out that although women who apply to participate in the nude festival are allowed to participate in the Naked Festival (なおいざさ), they will not take off their clothes with the men, nor will they mix in the nude activities. Activists also welcomed this, believing it to be an important step for gender equality. The organizer of the event revealed, “Affected by the new crown epidemic, we have been unable to hold nude festivals in the past three years. During this period, we received many requests from women to participate. .”
In fact, Japan’s “Naked Matsuri” festival celebrates harvest, prosperity and fertility, but participants can only wear simple clothes, a headscarf, a Japanese loincloth, and white socks, parade through the town, splash water on each other, and drink heavily Sake is used to keep warm, so in the past it was considered a festival that only men could participate in. The selected “divine man” was naked and placed among the crowd. At the same time, the naked men would carry the shrine to the main shrine and call for the divine man to appear. Then thousands of naked men will swarm up and caress the divine man, transferring their future bad luck to the divine man.
