Japan’s Annual Penis Festival (SFW) - Kanamara Matsuri
And I thought that Poop Museum might be the last thing I have never seen in Japan.
How about a penis festival that’s safe for work?
Absolutely.
I have been to shrines dedicated to the penis in Japan. But, gosh, I seemed to have missed out on the festival dedicated to the Phallus.
If 10’s of thousands of people, men, women, children, and such will gather in broad daylight to celebrate…it must be safe for work, right?
It’s April - bring out the penises.
As a friend of mine used to say - good googey moogey.
Pink, black, wooden (is this where the term comes from?), steel, (yeah, fellows, dream on), plastic, skewed (Ouch!), frozen, decorated, sucking, licking, and all in good fun.
What’d you do at the festival?
Yeah! Try doing that in America.
Lots of more pix at Japan Photo Guide.
