The Saidai-ji Eyo festival, considered one of the three strangest festivals in Japan, is a Buddhist ritual in which
9,000 men compete to grab just a pair of sacred wooden batons to decide who will be the "blessed man" for
the year. The over 500-year-old tradition of Eyo is based on an underlying understanding of the state of
human life, greater than the ideals and trends of a single generation, and this idea has been cherished and
passed down through the centuries.
日本岡山市的西大寺觀音院舉行的裸祭節為日本的三大“奇祭”之一。在寒冷的 2 月,只穿著兜襠褲的男子們奮力爭奪據說可以帶來福氣的木棒“寶木”。“寶木”兩根為一對,長約 20厘米,並經過了 14天的祈禱。當天晚 10點,西大寺的住持從高約 4 米的正殿的窗戶將寶木扔下。用冷水清洗過身體,“熱氣騰騰”的數千人開始了一場“肉搏”戰。經過激烈的搶奪競技之後,搶到寶木的男子們就可以進行下一步儀式-受封為「福男」。
