March 15 was Penis Day in Japan

My dear friend, Carmela, sent me the e-mail below. I saw a movie in the late 80's called Shocking Asia that featured this thing. Talk about phallic worship -- literally! Aliw!


How could we have missed it? March 15 was Penis Day in Japan . Here are the photos. The actual festival is called Honen Matsuri. Celebrated every March 15 in Komaki, a town about 45 minutes north of Nagoya , Japan , this is the time of year where folks haul out a large wooden penis to give three cheers to fertility and renewal. The custom is an old one that is connected to bringing about a good harvest and having babies.
















BELATED HAPPY PENIS DAY TO ALL OF YOU
