Shrine parishioners ride a log called “Onbashira “down a hill as part of delivering it to a Shinto shrine during the Onbashira Festival in Shimosuwa, east of Tokyo, Japan, Friday, April 9, 2010. Those parishioners carry 16 logs to the four Suwa Grand Shrines, four logs to each shrine, to spiritually renew the shrines in the two-and-a-half-month-long festival. The festival takes place every seven years. (AP Photo/ Hiro Komae)
