A day at the beach
Picture of the Day ( 12 )
Participants carry a portable shrine and parade through the sea during a mid-winter festival at Enoshima beach in Fujisawa, west of Tokyo, on Sunday. The annual festival is held to celebrate youths coming of age this year as well as to pray for the safety of the portable shrines.

They obviously don't smash them together at this festival. Shame.

Good to see many of the young dudes in the picture sticking with the traditional /cultural local stuff. It's got to be passed on from generation to generation so it remains alive.

Enoshima is a beautiful beach to go visit. You can get a good view of Mt. Fuji on a clear day.

It looks like the hefty guys are carrying the load and the thinner ones are hanging on!
