Bearers - a photo on Flickriver

Bearers

            Bearers carrying a portable shrine on its lengthy journey through the streets of Asakusa, Tokyo, during the three-day Sanja Matsuri festival. Although described as "portable" each shrine weighs around a ton and requires around 40 people to carry it, which accounts for the expressions you see here on the faces of these bearers.
