Miiiinshaina, minshaina...
This is a traditional bird hunting dance from Nagasaki Prefecture. It is one of the funniest things that I have ever seen in my life, but if anyone objects I will take it down. Just think of the uniforms as modified sumo wrestler drawers. This group of fellers is having trouble finding people to continue the tradition.

I hope it wasn't too cold. ;P
I'm sure at some point I, too, will see this. When I do, I will most likely be doing the same thing as now though:
"Uh, I don't get it."
Guess I'll always be a midwest white-boy at heart in some ways, lol.
God bless,

@gelatinemonkey - Ok, I am in Tokyo now and will be going back to Fukuoka next Thurs, so keep in touch!
Is there any information as to what birds these fine gentlemen are hunting?
