Kanamara Matsuri “Japan’s Annual Penis Festival”

If you were in Japan this weekend you would have seen the Kanamara Matsuri with the streets of a Japanese village filled with the form of a gigantic penis‘s. The Kawasaki’s annual Festival of the Steel Phallus (Kanamara Matsuri), which is traditionally held on the first Sunday of April. And a celebration which dates back to Japan’s Edo era in the 16th century and would see prostitutes gather outside a shrine to pray for financial prosperity and protection against sexually transmitted diseases. “A more fantastic tale lies in the fabled ‘vagina dentata,’ or toothed vagina, which supposedly castrated several poor young men on their wedding nights. The woman cursed with the toothed vagina (most likely a metaphor for syphilis, which was common then) went to see a blacksmith, who forged her an iron dildo in order to break the teeth of her inner demon, thus protecting the penis of her future suitor. The Kanamara shrine is dedicated to the blacksmith, and over the centuries sex workers have paid pilgrimage to the shrine to seek its powers of protection.” People Celebrate Festival of the Steel Phallus In Japan   slide_344421_3588989_free People Celebrate Festival of the Steel Phallus In Japan slide_344421_3588980_free slide_344421_3588986_free slide_344421_3588985_free slide_344421_3588984_free slide_344421_3588991_free slide_344421_3588996_free slide_344421_3588994_free slide_344421_3588995_free slide_344421_3588993_free slide_344421_3588992_free slide_344421_3588997_free slide_344421_3588998_free slide_344421_3588999_free slide_344421_3589000_free
