For picture 3, why do the Japanese carry their portable shrine almost naked? I am aware that it is some sort of tradition, but still, it has to start from somewhere.

By the way, eye-patch Noda is moe!!!

Because they are carrying it into the sea, as the picture descripton clearly states.
You don't jump into the water with your clothes on, right?

Another thing: this seems to be a Yakuza festivity? Or whats with all the tattooed guys?
