Kanamara matsuri – Japanese dicks festival
Yesterday I went with my friends Ignacio and Take to the Kanamara traditional festival near Kawasaki. The wikipedia translates it as the Festival of the Steel Phallus. It is Shinto fertility festival dedicated to the penis celebrated every year at Kawasakidaishi.
It was so fun, estrange and surrealistic… I don’t know how to explain it in words so I’ll let you see the pictures and the video I took:

Looks like ancient Roman art, they penified everything for “vitality” or whatever.

It has changed over the years. 20 or so years ago when I went, there was no pink phallus mikoshi. This was brought in and the festival has been taken over by the new -half contingent. I hope they still have the penis lollipops on sale though….

I can understand
the reason and the folklore of this ancient custom but I don’t appreciate the picture of naive children kissing
the phallus.
