Population Ageing Halts Japanese Naked Men Festival

So, picture this: in Japan's Iwate region, they had this ancient festival called "Sominsai," where naked men would wrestle over wooden charms while chanting "jasso, joyasa" to ward off evil. But get this, it was the last round! The Kokuseki Temple decided to call it quits because the locals, who are getting up there in years, couldn't keep up with organizing it anymore. It's just another sign of Japan's aging population causing changes in traditions and communities.
