yamakasa
A yamakasa is a float used during a Shinto matsuri. This tag refers to the clothes festival participants wear while carrying the float: a fundoshi and a small cloth jacket tied together from the front with a knot. Due to the revealing nature of the clothes, men are the ones to wear them, though women are often drawn wearing them for obvious fanservice reasons.
