Ganso Hakata Mentaiju

Chicken ball

The first three days of the New Year are over today🎍
I'm sure there are many people who will be starting work tomorrow.

Today, January 3rd, is the day of the Tamatori Festival, a New Year's event that is an indispensable event for the people of Hakata.
It is being held at Hakozaki Shrine in Higashi Ward, Fukuoka City.
This festival, commonly known as "Tamaseseri",
A New Year's ritual representative of Hakata, in which participants compete to grab a wooden ball which is said to bring good fortune to those who touch it.

The sight of the men clad in traditional traditional attire colliding violently with each other is truly overwhelming.
