Title:
Oniyo Matsuri (Fire Festival), Kurume, Fukuoka, Kyushu, Japan.
Caption:
Men dressed in loincloths at the Oniyo fire festival carry the
one-ton taimatsu torches seven times around the temple. It isn't an easy
task. The leader (wearing a red headband) must coordinate well all their
efforts to lift the mammoth shafts using long oak poles.
