Description This is the back of a wakaren, one of the men who tend to the floats during the okunchi festival in Nagasaki. Their "uniforms" change every few years, but I always love looking at their back as they're so detailed.

I can't tell if it's a dragon, or a pheonix, or both that's on his back - but this is a gorgeous shot! : )
They look so comfortable to wear.

Haha, it's a dragon. The staple of Okunchi is its dragon dance as can be referenced here; [link]

Most of their uniforms are based on dragon stuff. On a completely unrelated note, this guy was really hot too, you should see the front of him
