Every year on January 7th, The Naked Men Festival is held at a temple in Fukushima Yanaizu town(300km north of Tokyo). Local men in Fundoshi challenge themselves to climb a rope to the top of Enzoji Temple in the hopes of prosperity. I wanted to capture a phenomenal beauty of masculinity when a man pushes his limits and struggles to climb up a rope. Men are painted by hand, and the rope part is printed in gold by a woodcut.

Shinji Horimura is a contemporary figurative artist from Osaka, Japan. He focuses on Japanese male figure in sacred Shinto festivals by using traditional materials, such as Clay Paint, Sumi Ink, and Washi Paper. Born in 1975, his curious and adventurous character made his life-path very unique. He spent one year in Australia as an exchange student at the age of 17, majored Anthropology (African Studies) in college, and moved to New York City to study design at the age of 25. After working as a display/interior designer for 6 years, he made a sudden turn to the field of holistic healing to master Oriental Medicine and Chi (energy), and became a professional therapist. He started drawing in 2004 for self-expression when he was a display designer in New York. He developed his own drawing style without a proper education in art. In 2011, Shinji moved back to Japan and started pouring more energy into his art. Currently he presents his works both in Japan and overseas.
