Rites of Spring: the true meaning of meltdown

 

Ah, spring - season of melting snow if not actually meltdown.
Giving a brisk new interpretation of both are these hard-core ascetic Buddhist monks walking through flames, holding a prayer board, during the Nagatoro Fire Festival, a fire-walking ritual, at Choshozan Fudoji temple in Nagatoro town, northwest of Tokyo. The annual event is held in March to celebrate the coming of spring. 
Bracing, what ?  (shit, my feet are melting  )
