Annual Festival Honors Penises and Fertility

Penisfestivalepa_450x300

The annual Honen festival was held on Saturday in Komaki, near Nagoya, where people celebrate fertility and good harvest by carrying around a giant penis. Shinto priests played music while the crowd got drunk on all-you-can-drink sake and ate penis-shaped foods, like hot dogs.
