Hot water festival

Hot water festival

NAGANOHARA, Japan - Some 60 almost naked young men splash each other with hot water while cheering in the predawn hours in a ''hot water festival'' at a hot spring resort in the town of Naganohara, Japan, on Jan. 20, 2011. The festival, intended to wish for the prosperity of the local community, is said to originate in the legend that a dried-up hot spring started to discharge hot water again after local residents dedicated a chicken some 400 years ago. The area would be submerged if the controversial Yamba Dam project goes ahead.
