In which country is the World Naked Festival?

The full name of Naked Body Festival is "Naked Body Festival of Hadakaka Festival", which originated from the ceremony of Hadakaka Festival in Japan to greet the gods.

Naked festival is divided into land parade and water parade. The climax of the water parade is to cross the local Guichuan River at full tide, while the land parade needs to find a streaker arranged by the organizer from all the streakers. Whoever touches him will bring good luck all the year round.

Naked festival is also called "Huiyang Festival". The participants were all men. They only wear traditional Japanese crotch cloth and are almost naked. Naked body festival is held in the third week of February every year, and the activity on Saturday night is the climax. On this day every year, nearly 10,000 men come to participate in the ceremony of naked competition for "precious wood", and there are countless visitors. Baomu is made of Chinese fir, 6 inches long and 3 inches in diameter. The reason why people are obsessed with precious wood dates back to 1300 years ago. According to legend, the Nishioji Auditorium was just completed at that time, and a monk from Nara introduced a ceremony called "Xiuhui" here.
