Cherry blossoms and cheeky bottoms

When it comes to the much anticipated hullabaloo that is hanami, quiet contemplation or the largely more common large amounts of lager are usually what’s called for, although for some, along with presumably lots of the latter, lolling around in a loincloth is also part of the proceedings.

And while females can join in the fun, a fundoshi is only for the fellas.

As, quite annoyingly, are the not nearly so traditional nipple clamps.

Which are as uncomely,

as they are uncomfortable.

All of which culminates, at least in this case,

in a mildly coordinated melée.

    Oh those poor lads! Were the nipple clamps necessary??

    Mind you, I never mind a bit of fundoshi that makes the internet rounds this time of year. Oh, the rainy days fly by! 🙂

      It seemed so Katie. As painful as they looked, nobody was without them. Why though is anybody’s guess…

    Nice pictures, showing seemingly huge cultural differences between the west and asia.

    Finally! A decent looking guy who’s not all fat or hairy or poorly cross-dressed. Thanks Lee! ^_^

    Wonderful game! Japanese girls know how to abuse the male flesh for their pleasure! Excellent!

    Amazing. It’s a honour for guys to be abused and tortured for ladies’ fun. Moreover we guys have nipples for pain. I wish this japanese tradition comes in my nation too.
