Not a fig leaf, but still the same.
今日は長野県旅館青年部の総会＠松本でした。
イメージ写真は葉っぱです。
？！？！
どういう関係か、渋の山田さんに聞きたいところですが、本人は恐らく覚えていらっしゃいないと思います。彼の青年部卒業お祝いもありました。と言う訳（？）で、こういう葉っぱが役に立ちました。まあ、大きさが足りないという説もありましたが、葉っぱのお蔭で山田さんがすっきりして、(素っきり？）卒業が出来ました。
日本って、面白い国やな。
Nagano's Ryokan Junior Association held its General Meeting in Matsumoto today.
So why is the image picture a leaf?
I'd like to ask Yamada-san of Shibu Onsen, but unfortunately he probably doesn't remember.
It was his "graduation" celebration from the Junior Assoc. From now on he will be in the parent association. In order to properly divest himself from his Junior colleagues, he apparently felt the need to divest himself of his clothing. Hence the leaf. Perhaps a bit too small, but it did the job. Yamada-san successfully graduated. Congratulations!
(Japan sure has some interesting rituals...)
新・県部長の宮原さんが卒業生・山田さんのお礼を
