I'm a Legend in Japan

By popular demand, proof of the living legend.

This is about my participation in the February (middle of winter!) Naked Festival. To show respect, men throw cold water and sake on me throughout the festival, and women try to touch me for good luck.


The above article is all about me and Benjamin Franklin. A natural pair of legends in the eyes of the Japanese.

Shouldn't you also mention how Frank, the German guy in the front of the picture, tried to touch your butt with his butt for good luck too?

Ok... so what do you and Franklin have in common? (i.e. what's the article about?)

Yeah that's right, Frank (the long-haired guy in the front) had his own good luck traditions. And Ben Franklin? Well, he was chosen as the central focus for the American pavilion at this year's expo, themed "Nature's Wisdom". And since they needed a living American to interview, naturally they chose me for my own comparable natural wisdom.
