A festival was held in Okayama Prefecture, western Japan, that included the tradition of semi-naked men scrambling to catch a pair of wooden sticks said to bring good luck.
                
The Eyo Festival is also known as the &quot;naked festival.&quot; It was held at the Saidaiji temple on Saturday night.
                
Men wearing only loincloths and split-toe tabi socks competed to catch sacred sticks. The tradition is designated as one of Japan&#039;s intangible folk cultural assets.
                
About 9,000 men participated in the event, which was cancelled the past three years due to the coronavirus pandemic.
                
Participants packed into the temple&#039;s main hall, putting their arms around others&#039; shoulders as they chanted.
                
The lights were switched off at 10 p.m. and the 20-centimeter-long sticks were thrown into the crowd.
                
The two groups who managed to grab them and carry them out of the hall were designated &quot;lucky men&quot;.
                
One of the lucky winners, Ozaki Yoshitaka, said he was filled with happiness. The 59-year-old said he hopes to spend the coming year sharing his happiness with others.
