Participants clad in traditional white happi coats take part in the Okihiki event in Tokyo’s Roppongi district February 4, 2007.

Okihiki is when participants pull a cart loaded with cypress trees which will be used in the construction of new Ise Shrine. Man I’ll tell yeah, the Japanese really know how to throw a matsuri (festival!)
