@map_japan: At first glance, some people see something inappropriate. But this isn’t about that. This is Yamakasa, a tradition that has been carried on in Fukuoka for more than 700 years. The traditional clothing has a purpose, a history, and a meaning that goes far beyond modern assumptions. The festival takes place every day until July 15. Before judging another culture, take a moment to understand it. Have you ever seen a tradition that was misunderstood? 🇯🇵 Follow @MAP Japan for the stories behind Japan’s culture.
