Pretty Japanese women dressed in kimonos taking part in “uchimizu”, the traditional Japanese custom of sprinkling water on the pavement and surrounding areas of one’s home or workplace, to cool down the sizzling summer temperatures.

Uchimizu

It is known that “uchimizu”was popular among the people in the Edo period, and up till today, it still is, lowering temperatures on the ground and surrounding air by 2-3°C.

I know guys wouldn’t mind getting thrown with a pail of water from these women. Aye? XD.
