this would selection a great deal. There nonetheless is a few gender discrimination interior the artwork place. yet this is slowly changing to a level. some adult adult males take care of ladies individuals extremely, others do no longer. yet on the common, i do no longer think of jap women individuals are mistreated. adult adult males commonly artwork six days a week, and have no time to cook dinner or do the procuring. They flow away until now first easy and get homestead after sunset... that's not uncommon for the female to regulate the money interior the relatives. she often is the only which will pay the fees, and so on. The husband gets an " allowance " for his very own desires.

You mean Matsuri?
Yes. But not whole Japan and not fully naked. In some matsuri, they put only Fundoshi, loincloth. Children too.
I don't know why. It is like Sumo Wrestling. The area where ppl go naked fight in the festival, Village vs Village, or Town vs Town.
Other areas where ppl don't need to be naked doesn't fight.
The matsuri varies.

Even for the summer festival and things like that, many guys performing wear little fundoshi around themselves, not in the winter coz its too freezing. But people in Japan dress down alot, especially for festivals, because they are getting into the traditional aspects of it. Also people get excited lol.

Take a look at Edo-era prints of porters, fishermen, boatmen, carpenters, etc. They are often depicted as wearing little more than fundoshi. So the guys who do the same at contemporary festivals are observing "tradition" in the conventional sense, as well as perhaps celebrating working class culture.

... hardly NAKED, are they?
Anyhow, why are you complaining? Even if they WERE naked, I dare-say your only objection would be the fact that they're all men ...
