To Tokyo Dome for the Furusato Matsuri, a massive festival of awesome things from all over Japan. There was spectacular costumed dancing…
…aisle upon aisle of the most delicious regional speciality foods…
…and this dude:
He’s a Namahage, a terror to Japanese children everywhere. If you’re lazy or disobedient, screaming, roaring Namahage might come to your house and peel your feet.
The kids in the pic above must be very well-behaved to be able to look so relaxed. I can think of several good reasons not to want to hold a Namahage’s machete, can’t you?
