A giant replica penis was paraded through the streets of a Japanese city as thousands of revellers gathered to pay homage to the organ. The annual Honen Matsuri festival draws huge crowds to its celebration of fertility.
The festival, which is said to be running for more than 1,000 years, took place in the city of Komaki on Thursday. Local young men sporting white robes and black hats carried the “O-owasegata,” a huge wooden penis, aloft and spun it around as those gathered watched on, snapping pictures and videos on their phones.
Visitors are encouraged to touch the wooden penis as tradition dictates that the act will bring good harvest to farmers and fertility to young couples. A new O-owasegata is carved every year for the occasion.
The enormous appendage was paraded through the city streets before being laid to rest in a local temple at which people lined up to pay homage. Others were treated to penis shaped delights, such as moulded cakes and candy.
“It’s my first time to see a penis this big,” a young woman remarked about the wooden centerpiece. “It's not only about people having sex,” she added, “it's about like nature giving birth to new fruits. It's basically saying, that humans are equivalent with nature.”

Celebrate fertility with penis-themed goodies at this wild annual festival in Kanagawa.
Penises of all colors and sizes take over Kawasaki city during the Kanamara Matsuri—aka the Penis Festival. You’ll find everything from penis-shaped lollipops to earrings and even some vagina-shaped treats.
Around 30,000 people flock to the event in the otherwise quiet town in Kanagawa Prefecture, about 45 minutes south of Tokyo.
The rowdy celebration of all things phallic happens annually on the first Sunday of April. Expect lots of drunk people in penis hats.

The backstory of Kanayama Shrine, where the festival takes place, sounds a lot like a horror movie plot. The legend goes that a jealous demon fell in love with a married woman and burrowed itself inside her vagina.
After the demon bit off the penis of the woman’s husband, she asked a blacksmith to build a steel phallus to break its teeth. Yikes.

The phallus was enshrined here along with the Shinto gods of mining and blacksmithing. It later became a popular place for sex workers to pray for protection against sexually transmitted diseases.
The shrine itself is tiny so during the festival make sure to get there before 9 a.m. to avoid a long line wrapped around the block.
If the line to enter Kanayama Shrine is too long, you can still enjoy the festivities from nearby at Kawasaki Daishi. The huge shrine grounds and its adjacent shopping street are lined with penis goods—this is where you’ll find those penis lollipops you see everyone walking around with.

Here you can enjoy a variety of food stalls, performances, and general festival atmosphere. It’s impossible to have a bad time when you’re surrounded by hundreds of people wearing penis hats and glasses.
Typically the mikoshi (portable shrine) parade starts around 11:30 a.m. The procession is made up of three different shrines, including a pink one carried by members of the trans community called Elizabeth.

The mikoshi are left on display for plenty of photo opportunities before and after the procession.
While it’s easy to just write this off as some strange sausage festival, let’s not forget that it is a historical tradition in which people come to pray for fertility and safe childbirth. The festival has also become a pride celebration for the trans community. Funds raised during the event are donated to HIV and AIDs research.
Still, whether your reason for joining this raucous party is for fertility prayers or just for laughs, nobody will judge you for buying those penis candles, right?
Don’t call it a penis festival… then again...
