Bamboo Cutting matsuri (festival) at Kuramadera temple in Kurama, Japan. They celebrate the Takekiri (bamboo-cutting) Matsuri Festival in early summer, where they compete in cutting four pieces of bamboo representing large snakes with a hatchet in front of the main temple to forecast whether the harvest will be good or bad for the year.
