Oshiroi Festival Oshiroi festival is a curious festival whose origins date back to more than 400 years ago. The powder of newly harvested rice is dissolved in water and then painted on the faces of celebrants, Oshiroi is a festival of thanksgiving for abundant crops. It is sand that by examining how well the powder sticks to the celebrants' faces, one can forecast the coming year's harvest. It is comical to see the celebrants weaving their way home after the ritual, since you cannot tell who's who at a glance.

a friend of mine has pointed out that while the article claims bukake means "to splatter," it actually translates to "violently pour." just sayin'.

Doesn't seem all that strange or 'new' since the article even states that the Oshiroi rice base is meant to symbolize fertility as in the Onda festival.

"It's make or break for Hard Gay in 2006," the TV insider tells Asahi Geino. "It's hard to see him surviving just by going around screaming out 'whooo' and alternatives to what has become his trademark call haven't kicked off nearly as well." Fascinating.
