Kanamara Matsuri Penis Festival


Story - Gallery - wiki + photos quote [Kanamara Matsuri is the festival of the Steel Phallus, an annual Shinto fertility festival held in Kawasaki, Japan; this year’s festivities happened last week. According to Wikipedia: “The penis forms the central theme of the event that’s reflected everywhere; in illustrations, candy, carved vegetables, decoration, a parade of mikoshis, etc. …The Kanamara Matsuri is centered around a local penis-venerating shrine, once popular among prostitutes who wished to pray for protection against sexually transmitted diseases”].
