FUNDOSHI is a basic, but specialized apparel for mikoshi participants here in the U.S. as well as in Japan. It is a type of Japanese loin cloth or underwear. Mikoshi carriers demonstrate how to put on and tie fundoshi in mixed company with discretion, style, confidence and a certain “coolness.” This can only happen at Taru Mikoshi 2012 @ the 45th Annual Cherry Blossom Parade in Japantown, San Francisco (April 22, 2012).
