It isn't gay event, but it can bring a lot of pleasure for eyes to gays. AT least to half of gays :)))

Very erotic. Those ropes are the hint of depravity necessary to balance the underlying innocence.

It's all in the eye of the beholder!

That's the Hakata Gion Yamskasa festival, held in July, if I remember correctly.

Fundoshi are worn at most Shinto festivals, but the little skirt discreetly covering the bulge is very disappointing.

Maybe guys down that part of Japan (south) are rather shy. Oh well, you can't have everything.

I've been to countless festivals and have always enjoyed the bulge - along with the butts, too! I also participated in lots of smaller local festivals wearing a Fundoshi in my friends' home towns but it was difficult avoiding a hard-on, especially when you are all hot and sweaty with your body up against everyone else's. The change room was also a wonderful place to be.

"Do you need a hand putting that on?" lol

Oh, the memories! So erotic! A gay man's wet dreams coming true.

The Indian loincloth - the langot - is also super sexy.(and usually comes with a bigger bulge!)

The bums are quite pristine with not a single tattoo in sight. I guess the pleated ropes could come in handy for a couple of lashes whenever appropriate.

Or they could be put to use for "kinbari" - the word which refers to the tying up of someone in bdsm play. It's considered an art form in Japan.

And here's why these festivals are heaven for gay men :

I get claustrophobia with more than 3 people in an elevator.

Say no more for me.

People in Japan do not have a high opinion of tattoos. One of many things they get right.

Claustrophobia would be a huge problem if you had to catch public transport during rush hour in Japan.

But you'd be surprised how much fun you can have on the trains during that time! Lots of stray hands and full-on groping. Probably the same would occur among the guys in the photos above, but I have never experienced it at the festivals.

I have also never participated in such large festivals but if I did, I would be hovering around the edges where I'd probably be trying my "hardest" to accidentally brush up against everyone.

It would be a sin to let such an opportunity to begging!

This is my preferred for of Fundoshi - no skirt to spoil the view.

As you can see in the second photo above, Fundoshi are also worn by "taiko" drummers.

The following video gets interesting at around 2:40 so fast-forward if you can't wait.

Concerts featuring mass drumming are sometimes performed in Japan; think 50 or more hot, fit guys in Fundoshi banging away right in front of you. Incredible!

And here's how to put it on. The guy describes it as "swimwear" but it's just traditional underwear,although I guess you could swim in it.

There are quite a few Fundoshi videos on You Tube.

Yes, when I lived in Japan there were unwritten (written?) rules making it difficult to get a job if you have tattoos. That was a long time ago but things change verrrrry slowly in Japan. Weirdly I lived in Fukuoka for 3 years but always travelled home (or somewhere else) during June to August! I need to get there for this festival next time.

Some bathhouses have signs stating that people with tattoos are not allowed to enter.

I believe that foreigners with tattoos get given tape to cover up the tattoo in Japan.

Fine by me, as I'm very much anti-tattoo & find them distasteful.
No doubt it will shortly become non-PC to hold such views in the west, if not already so. Doesn't change my opinion.

I'm not a big fan of tatoos either, although the full-body tatoos that the yakuza love to display can be considered works of art. That is why yakuza are big fans of the Fundoshi, as it allows them to show off their colourful creations.

When I was growing up, yakuza were relatively visible compared to today's Japan - a Mercedes Benz with blacked out windows, driving around the night entertainment districts, was a fairly common sight.

I was very close friends (and still am) with a guy who started up a bar in a place called Koenji, not far from Shinjuku. And on many occasions we'd be all sitting there having a drink and in would walk the local yakuza to collect his monthly tea money.

My family also had a run-in with them in our first condo - they were living next door and causing all kinds of trouble. Soon after we moved into the safety of a company owned condo.

And in Ikebukuro, a large suburb of Tokyo, wannabe yakuza called "chimpira" were a common sight on the streets. Being a member of any kind of Japanese group meant, of course, that you had to have a certain distinctive "look." Theirs was ridiculously crinkly permed hair (!) and traditional wooden footwear called "geta."

My one and only reflection at the end of a day ("end" ... get it?) in Japan would be: 'Skid Marks'

The Japanese hold the bidet dear and that ensures that there's nothing to adhere to the rear, so there's no need to fear a smear will appear.

Do I make myself clear?

I've never seen a bidet in Japan, although I have seen many examples of fancy toilets with integrated washing facilities.
Of all the machines I've used in Japan with little or no reading ability, these were amongst the easiest, due to the graphics (below).

Slightly more difficult might be a coffee machine for breakfast in a hotel. Three buttons, so 33% chance of getting it right. I'm watching over the shoulder of the guy in front. He presses one button, gets it wrong and walks off in disgust. I later find out it's a party of Korean tourists, hence they can't read either. Anyway, I'm now up to odds of 50:50 and have slightly more confidence in one set of Kanjii above the other & fortunately, it's right first time. For the more complex machines that poison the coffee with sugar, I had to learn to read a little.

At home or in the hotel, there are various cleaning options. When out and about in Tokyo for the day, a wash and blow dry is as good as it's going to get.

If I remember well, it is/was a sign you belonged to some bracnh of the Yakuza (or was that Yazukah?)=the organised crime.

This was meant for Easter, but better late than never.
Alas a Jack Rabbit not good at hiding his eggs, and it makes me wonder.
An existential question this Christmas.
Will it ever hatch after being exposed to the elements?

Wishing everyone Merry Christmas.
