TIL this scene in the anime Blue Eye Samurai was based on a real festival. It looked so unbelievable in the anime that it didn't even occur to me that it could be real.
Is this the one that just recently allowed women to take part?
No, that’s a different naked festival that has no problem with attendance, I guess because it’s a 20 min train ride from a major city
Apologies for assuming just one “naked man” festival. Boy, did I ever TIL today…
Yup. Nude awakening indeed.
You need a local naked guy festival just like you need a local temple.
It sounds like proximity isn't really an issue here. They have hundreds to thousands of attendees. Sounds more like its getting to be too much for the local elders who organize it.
But what if this festival really does keep the evil away??
Will the last one to leave please turn off the robots?
Oh, it’s supposed to be some supercilious insinuation about Japanese, men, naked, and sex robots?
No, it is a variation on "Last one to leave, please turn off the lights". This is usually said in a sarcastic tone in a country with high emigration.
Oh, ok. I guess because it's fading, but I think there's also a revival. Anyway, what's the connection with robots?
