How about starting a crazy, silly activity right now, right here, and see if it sticks for 3 centuries.

Parades would be way better like this. Not the slow moving scenery we ensure.

"We have so many parade floats that it'll take 13 hours for the parade" ... "Well, what if we just ran them as fast as possible?"

Tourist: “it says the parade is at noon” local: “sorry you missed it” Tourist: “but it’s only 12:05!”

Still curious how this went 300 years ago, before proper roads and such.

It began because the local Daimyo had some bad sushi and ordered the festival to move a little quicker because he had to go

It was told to me by a wizened old man smoking a long pipe at the base of Mount Shinwayama,

I will happily accept this as an amazing piece of folklore, where the story matters more than the authentic history

The song is from the Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift so it kind of matches

I don't think Japan is one of the 50 States. Maybe the education system is worse than we thought.

You may be surprised to hear that many industrialized nations have some form of regulatory body for workplace safety.

And I don't think people would understand JISHA... (Why would I ruin the joke, anyway?)

Imagine a place with ALL THE DICKS! Now think, like, twice that many dicks. Giant wood dicks, dick parades, dick costumes, candy dicks.

I'll give you a hint, Japan's birth rate is still declining.

Kanamara Matsuri. (Festival of the steel phallus) all about male/female reproductive organs.

Incredible pixelated floats and pixelated fireworks. I actually got a square stuck in my throat when I tried the festival street food

Doesn't seem to work, though.

So? How often do you get to see genital sculptures in a parade? It's fun.

About every June or so, usually.
