Synopsis
It's winter in Japan and despite the very low temperatures we find a series of men wearing loincloths. These men struggle to catch a ball, the takara-no-tama, a treasure ball believed to bring good fortune to the person who lifts it over his head. This tradition is part of the Tamaseseri Festival, a festive feast that falls every year during the New Year holidays.
