Uchimizukko
This years summer Uchimizukko will be held at Kanda Myojin on the 2nd August from 15:30 and then proceed to akiba where the event ends at 17:00.
This is a pic taken from last years event and you can see more maids and a description of this event at the previous Uchimizu article.
Video of last years event below.
If you are going to be available in Tokyo then see you there!
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.
If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

Kinda reminds me of the Thai New Year, which many young people also celebrate in a similar fashion...except they throw water at each other.

I'm wondering.. is there any particular reason why this year's Uchimizu is called UchimizuKKO?
Regardless, I wish I could be there. Keep us updated with this event, Danny!

Uchimizu refers to the action of sprinkling water on the streets in the summer and has been a tradition in Japan for many many moons. The water keeps the dust low and cools off the immediate area. You can read up more on this tradition somewhere here.
The Uchimizukko Daishugo event has made this tradition more interesting by getting legions of maids to do the watering. Video included after the jump.

I was there, but I couldn't get a good shot since the press were hogging all the good lines of sight, leaving the masses with very little room. Of course, if I had a proper camera with a zoom lens, I might have gotten a better shot.
This year, there was a one minute silent prayer for the victims of the stabbing in Akihabara.
