Kanamara Matsuri Anomaly Festival [NSFW]

26 April 2009 17 Comments

Kamamara Matsuri or the Festival of the Steel Phallus is one of the most unique festivals in not only Japan but in the world. It is held in Kawasaki and is celebrated annually on the first Sunday of Spring. It is the most anticipated festival for both locals as well as many tourists from around the world. The festive is sometimes referred to as “the Penis Festival” for obvious reasons, and the people who participate are sometimes known as “dickheads”. They come in search of any and all “Phallus” related material whether it be in the form of memorabilia or just a photo opportunity, as shown below. So, what is the origin of the “Penis Festival”? I was told my Japanese friend, the festival was originally started as a form of protection against STDs which I guess no condoms back then! Well, they say a picture is worth a thousand words, so I hope the below photographs will bring you a little closer to understanding this very unique festive :D
