So, I came to work Wednesday morning in Katahigashi and right by my desk were these huge animal heads along with the body and boots. It was a little freaky! Never saw one let alone three huge animal outfits just sitting there but it was a fun way to start the Katahigashi Matsuri.
The main event - Mud volleyball!
32 teams of 4 to 5 members each entered to win the 1st place 25,000 yen prize.
The game started at 10 am and 4 mud courts were being used all at the same time.
Of course at the beginning things started out somewhat clean, but it didn't take too long before teams started diving into the mud.
Teams tried to wear color outfits, but it all eventually became brown.
The showers were a fun place to see just how muddy everyone got!
The games lasted for about 3 hours and with all the standing around in between matches, players kept falling in the mud to stay cool on the hot day.
Anyone could enter, even kids. The kid teams were esp. cute to watch since they always got muddy diving for balls.
Part of the "Muddy Ducks" team. I was invited to play with them, but my BoE said NO - being afraid I would hurt myself even before school started.
The girls showing off for the cameras - there were TV crews everywhere!
