愛読者の皆様、今晩は。今年の晦日もあと僅かとなりましたが、如何お過ごしでしょうか。
今年最後の作品、「フェイスブックで裸褌文化を紹介」を徒然日記にアップしました。(ふんどし談義用作品)
徒然日記 12月 http://wadaphoto.jp/nikki.htm#29
フェイスブック https://www.facebook.com/yoshio.wada.12?ref=tn_tnmn
今年は、フェイスブックにも力を注ぎ、日本独自の裸褌文化を英語で解説して海外の方々に伝えることができました。お陰様で多くのご支持を賜り、Facebookフレンズ3100人、フォロワーズ1100人となりました。その9割が外国人です。毎日、多くの方々とチャットを楽しむことが私の日課の一つとなりました。
マレーシアや台湾など、フェイスブックを通じて親しくなった方々にエアーメールで褌を進呈し、以後、下着として愛用されている方もいます。日本と同じ高温多湿の国々では、健康下着として重宝され、海外にも日本の褌が広がってゆくに違いありません。強くてフェアで礼儀正しい侍の愛用した褌だからこそ、人気を博しているのかもしれません。
好きなことを好きなだけやれる健康に恵まれ、生かされていることに感謝しながら来年も我が道を歩みます。
どうかご自愛の上、お元気でロマンと感動の新年をお迎え下さい。〈 拝 〉

'Kite-flying Wearing Akafun'
My facebook friend sent me this funny New Year's card on New Year's Day of 2014. In spite of winter, this stout man is naked wearing akafun the red fundoshi and a straw hat on his head, enjoying to fly a kite shaped like a yakko the ancient footman.
I'm sorry I could not remember who sent me, but he must be living in warm southern province and fully enjoying fundoshi life.
The time to prepare New Year's cards coming soon. I already bought blank post cards printable the high quality pictures. I'm thinking about how the contents gladden the recipients.

'Strict Father' by Kouzaburo
Today, I received wonderful masterpiece named "Strict Father" from Kouzaburo. I am very pleased the long-awaited first wark of new series has completed now when northern provinces begin to prepare for winter.
Strict Father having a katana in his hand is a phantom? suddenly appeared in the snow fluttering forest. It was extremely impressive, I was lost for words.
The words of Hagakure spirits 'Bushido is the way of death.' suddenly run through my mind. Once Inazo Nitobe explained in his book 'Bushido: The Soul of Japan' that it is a gospel meaning 'Never give up as long as you live'. Samurai goes his way. Let it go. Painter: Kouzaburo Editor: Yoshio Wada
「厳父」庚三郎作
本日、庚三郎さんから「厳父(げんぷ)」と題する素晴らしい名作が届いた。北国では冬支度が始まったころ、待ちに待った新シリーズの第一作が完成したことは、誠に喜ばしい。
突如として雪の舞う森に刀を持って現れた厳父は、幻だろうか。余りの美しさに、声も出ない。
「武士道とは死ぬことと見つけたり」という葉隠れの精神が頭をよぎった。かつて新渡戸稲造は、その著書「武士道」で「死ぬ気で頑張れ」という福音だと説いた。武士は、ありのままに我が道を行く。 庚三郎 画 和田義男 編

A Good-natured Old Man
My FB friend Mr. Hajime Sasaki is a good-natured old man of 63 years old. He has been wearing fundoshi as his underwear for about 40 years. He has no briefs or trunks at all like me. He wears rokusyaku fundoshi for kimono, otherwise ettyu fundoshi as his underwear.
He is very shy so that he painted his own portraits as follows. He sent me a photo of his fundoshi figure taken by his grandson in the occasion of taking a bath in his house. The cartoonish portrait resembles himself so that you can understand he is a typical Japanese gentleman long-bodied and short-legged. I hope his portrait photo will be open to the public in the near future.
Sasaki 様 先ほど、似顔絵をお借りして海外に紹介させて頂きました。近い将来、ご尊顔を開陳して頂けることを祈念しております。益々お元気で褌ライフをお楽しみ下さい。有り難うございました。〈 拝 〉

Let me introduce Mr. Saizi Watanabe who likes fundoshi best. He makes it a rule to wear ettyu fundoshi as his casual underwear.
The photo wearing ettyu fundoshi to hang out his wet fundoshi of washing to dry at courtyard of his house reminds me of the good old days in the rural village of Japan.

My fundoshi figure
I joined shore water purification ritual of Mituke-Tenjin Naked Festival on September 11 2013 for the first time in the recent five years. I bathed in the sea wave naked wearing Japanese traditional fundoshi loincloth, praying for world peace, good health and prosperity. It was cool and exciting for me and unforgettable experience. I will continue to join this ritual bathing in the sea every year as the head of Wada Group.
This rokusyaku fundoshi has been used for swimming since Edo era. I feel fundoshi as an identity of Japanese samurai.
I'm going to give a lecture concerning Japanese Naked Festival at Siroyama Junior High School of Iwata City for 500 first graders and their parents on December 13 2013 in accrdance with the invitation of the preservation society for Mitsuke-Tenjin Naked Festival. It is my great honor and pleasure to meet them who join Mitsuke Tenjin Naked Festival.

I made a photo showing the kinds of popular fundoshi for my foreign friends. Ettyu fundoshi is mainly for casual underwear, but sometimes used as an uniform of naked festival such as water purification etc.. kuroneko and mokko fundoshi is for casual underwear.

Japanese traditional naked fundoshi culture
I am not gay. I only love Japanese traditional naked fundoshi culture. I like naked festivals wearing fundoshi loincloth as the uniform. The naked festivals or rituals are held all the year round throughout Japan. I'd like to take these photos and introduce to the world.
I like fundoshi loincloth especially ettyu fundoshi. I have been wearing ettyu for around a half century since a doctor recommended to wear it when I was suffering from eczema of my crotch. It is cool and healthy in the hot and humid country like Japan.
Japanese men at Edo era work outside naked wearing fundoshi only in the hot humid days. It was not shameful. It was Japanese original culture. Naked festivals wearing fundoshi only are not shameful even today. It was a rule to Japanese soldiers to wear etthu fundoshi as a healthy underwear all the time until the end of the world war II.
I will accept messages and photos of fundoshi lovers of all foreigners. However, I will not accept love calls from gay people. Please do not send messages such as 'handsome dad' 'I love you' 'Sex me' and so forth. I feel unpleasant to receive men's full nude pictures. Best regards, thank you.

'Playing in a clear stream'
My facebook friend Mr. Makoto Komatsu sent me several pictures named 'Playing in a clear stream'.
Once, famous photographer Ken Domon vividly cut off the scenery of naked children playing in a clear stream wearing fundoshi only in his photo 'Children Spearing Sweetfish at Izu'. My friend must be thinking the days long past, putting himself in the cold water of Tama River like these children playing in the photo.

'Children Spearing Sweetfish at Izu' by famous photographer Ken Domon 1936 AD
At that time, in summer season, we are naked wearing suikon the swimming fundoshi when enjoying at sea or river. These boys on the photo must be wearing akafun the red fundoshi because of black color.
土門拳(1909-1990)は、昭和時代に活躍した日本の写真家で、社会的リアリズムに立脚する報道写真、日本の著名人や庶民などのポートレートやスナップ写真、寺院、仏像などの伝統文化財を撮影し、第二次世界大戦後の日本を代表する写真家の大家である。彼は、ズームアップして背景をぼかすというようなことは嫌いで、パンフォーカスのシャープな報道写真風の作品が多く、私の尊敬する写真家である。
ここに紹介するのは、土門拳が昭和11年(1936)の夏に撮影した写真で、伊豆半島の川の早瀬で鮎を突いている二人の水褌(すいこん)姿の子供たちの写真である。白黒写真なので、色は分からないが、前袋式に締めた赤褌(あかふん)であることは容易に推測できる。当時は海水パンツという西洋の文化はまだ日本全国には行き渡らず、田舎では、水泳は水褌に決まっていた。
私の小学校時代は、水褌は高価で、私のような貧乏人は、高知県では「いどくい」と呼ぶ黒猫褌かフリチンで泳いでいた。

Mr. Sojiro Kobayashi is a high priest 'Ajari' of Shingon Syu Koyasan Buddhism. In particular he has a great
knowledge about Tibet Buddhism so that he teaches foreigners about esoteric Buddhism in English. I was astonished
when he suddenly chant Heart Sutra in English in the middle of a conversation.
When I asked him why you joined Shinto asceticism, he explained that Japan has a long history of syncretism of
Shinto and Buddhism and there are no barriers in his Shingon Syu Buddhism.

'Kuya Waterfall Purification Training at Atago Mountain, Kyoto'
Today, my facebook friend Mr. Jirou Dobashi sent me his pictures engaging in Kuya Waterfall Purification Training halfway up Atago Mountain, Kyoto City Japan on March 20, 2010 when he was living in Kyoto.
This waterfall 12 meters high locating on the mountainside going up more than 1 hour along Kiyotaki River from Kiyotaki car park at the foot of the mountain is known as the old place where the virtuous Buddhist priest Kuya
engaged in ascetic practices and a training hall for ascetics is standing nearby.
He went there with his friends and practiced twice so that his body was chilled to the bone when changing his clothes
shiveringly. No one could repress being touched to see these photos of freezing cold waterfall purification, though it was done in the eraly spring of March. November 25, 2014

'Daijoin Temple Waterfall Purification'
Today, my facebook friend Mr.Tamao Nagasawa sent me his wonderful photos of waterfall purification training at Daijoin temple locating Odawara City Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. His figure standing under the fall looks manly and mysterious, givining off a special aura.
Waterfall purification has been conducting from ancient times as one of strict ascetic practices mainly performed by yamabushi the mountain priests in order to get self release, rebirth and a sense of unity with nature. Even today, normal citizens can join the training easily under professional priests. November 21, 2014 Daijoin Temple: http://daijouin.jp/taki

Today, I uploaded several pictures of my facebook friend Mr. Takezo Kawahara who is an aged gentleman looking very good in kimono. The photo 'Relaxation' is superb among them. Fundoshi is the most suitable underwear to wear a kimono even today.
I editted these pictures extracted from his page in order to introduce the attractive figures of this tipical Japanese aged man to the world. I really appreceate him.

本日、我がFacebookフレンドの川原武蔵さんの写真を数枚アップした。彼は、着物がとても良く似合う老紳士で、とりわけ「くつろぎ」と題する写真が素晴らしい。現代でも褌は着物に最もマッチした下着である。
