Photographer Buddhika Weerasinghe covered the #NadaNoKenkaMatsuri, or Nada Fighting Festival, in Himeji, Japan this week and is providing a behind the lens look at his coverage on gettyimages. _ "The Nada Fighting Festival is one of the most interesting festivals for its beauty, traditional customs, and dangerous aspects. During the festival, men from seven villages participate in the parades where they carry the portable shrines and jolt against one another until one smashes to compete for the god's blessings of good harvest next season. In this photo men of the #Nakamura team dry their wet festival outfit after the ritual of pray and cleanse ceremony." - Buddhika Weerasinghe | October 15, 2016 | #GettyImagesNews [1 of 3]
