Some Buddhist sects here conduct walking-over-fire rituals, with worshippers gingerly crossing smoldering hot ground created by the burning of religious amulets. And recently in western Tokyo, some itinerant priests supervised such an event (if that’s the right word).
The woman in the picture however looks like she just happened to be on her way back from the supermarket, but a slightly wrong turn meant that before she knew it her shoes had been removed and she was being guided (complete with shopping) across the glowing ground.

your dialogue to this picture had me laughing, sadly laughing, for a full two minutes. one move to the right, and it’d look like he was putting her head somewhere intimate…

When I was in Japan I stumbled across this same thing. I decided to walk across even though I was the only gaijin. I thought it would be at least a little hot but it was not at all.

Heh. She looks like my grandma (bless her soul).
