For over 600 years, two teams of loincloth-clad men have braved the winter cold to scramble for possession of an 8 kg wooden ball, which, if they touch it, will give them good luck! This event will be held for the first time in three years. Victory for the Beach Team is said to ensure a plentiful catch for the coming year, while victory for the Land Team brings a bountiful harvest.
