Bald men in Japan hold annual competition to celebrate baldness
  • 7 years ago
More than 30 bald men gathered in northern Japan on Wednesday to show off their hairless heads at an annual game night. Members of the Bald Men's Club in Tsuruta City, in Japan's northern prefecture of Aomori, met at a hot spring facility for the event, where they took turns in competing in a unique game of tug-of-war by attaching suction pads onto their heads. This year marked the 29th event ever since the club's inauguration in 1989, which now has more than 65 members from all over the country. The club's motto is to "view baldness in a positive manner, to have fun, and to brighten the world with our shiny heads," according to its website.
