Participants rest on the harbour wall during a lunch break in the Ohara Hadaka Festival on September 23, 2018 in Ohara, Japan. This festival is believed to have originated in the Edo period when local villagers would pray for bumper crops and an abundant catch and is now well known for the “Shiofumi” performance where groups of villagers carrying eighteen mikoshi gather at Ohara beach before running into the sea.
