This year again, I went to take pictures of a traditional festival in Amakusa, Kumamoto Prefecture. It attracts me because it is a 400-year-old festival held in a fishing village on the coldest day in winter on the lunar calendar. It is really interesting and exciting to see half-naked men swim in the sea carrying a portable shrine, wishing for good catch this year. 
OH OH OH...that looks SO cold! What a grand festival to view. Great captures, Kenkichi!
