I have a foto of young topless japanese wemen carrying a large phallas and afterwards rubbing it. I'm told it is from a festival. Is it really? what is the name of the festival? Where can I learn about this festival? Any help would be appreciated. Thank You
 
JR East links 'naked festival' posters to sexual harassment
OSHU, Iwate -- East Japan Railway Co. (JR East) has rejected calls to stick up posters promoting a local "naked festival," saying there are many women who aren't comfortable seeing men naked.

I think this is just a trouble-avoiding mentality of JR.

What if the good-looking sumo wrestler, Kotooshu, with his chest hair would be in a sumo poster?

"Tremendous" senses, which the urbanisation leveled off and forgot, you can rephrase it as "power", are something rural parts has still been kept.
