Tokyo (CNN) — Thousands braved chilly weather on Saturday to gather at the annual "Naked Festival" in Okayama prefecture in the southern part of Japans Honshu island. The event, called "Hadaka Matsuri" (裸体节)in Japanese, is a wild (狂野的)and raucous(喧闹的)festival held every year on the third Saturday of February at the Saidaiji Kannonin Temple(斋代寺), about a 30-minute train ride from Okayama city.
But the 10,000 or so male participants arent as naked as the festivals name suggests. They sport(得意地穿着)a minimal amount of clothing(最少的衣服); usually a Japanese loincloth(腰布)called a "fundoshi" and a pair of white socks called "tabi."
The festival, which celebrates the blessings of a bountiful harvest, prosperity and fertility, starts at around 3:20 p.m local time with a separate event for young boys -- aimed at fostering interest in younger generations.
