The huge penises of Japan

The huge penises of Japan

Many Brits will have childhood memories of celebrating Harvest Festival, a boring event that mostly involved admiring vegetables. As is usually the case, they do this sort of thing much better in Japan.

Penis festival

The recently celebrated Hōnen festival is a fertility festival (hōnen meaning harvest), in which the centre of attention is less focused on prize cabbages, and more about gigantic wodden penises.


The largest and most renowned festival (with the most renowned wooden penises) taks place in the city of Komaki, in Aichi Prefecture in central Japan.

The festival involves carrying the aforementioned massive penis from one shrine to another, while in the surrounding festivities, revellers enjoy penis-shaped food and pray while rubbing stone testicles.
