I've lived in Japan for a few years now and always found Japanese people to be very reserved and quite shy. Imagine then my shock when I went to a 'penis festival' and saw middle-aged and elderly ladies carrying wooden phalluses and penis posters. To top it all off the festival ended with a HUGE wooden phallus being paraded down the street! Truly bizarre!!

He's not kidding! I've seen it on national Geographic Explorer once in the late 70's or early 80's.

Indeed, I'm not kidding!! The festival is actually a fertility festival held annually toask the gods to make the process of childbirth as easy as possible, but you can visit fertility shrinesthroughout the year. There are fertility shrines featuring the male and female anatomy!
At one of the shrines I saw, women were writing wishes on pieces of paper and then stuffing them into small cracks and openings (use your imagination!) on a 20ft long wooden phallus! Looked very painful to me. |
