One man in a loincloth throws mud in the air during a mud festival at Mimusubi shrine in Yotsukaido, Japan

Men in loincloths jostle each other during the mud festival

A participant falls in the mud

The festival is held in a muddy rice paddy

The mud festival is celebrated to pray for a good harvest...

... and good health for babies

Babies have their forehead marked with some mud as a symbol of blessing
