Kanamara festival celebrates killing the demon in woman's vagina
Kanamara Festival is held every April 15th at Wakamiya Hachimangu Shrine in Kawasaki Japan.
People of all ages participate in a parade in which everyone sports a gigantic penis, eat penis shaped candies, carve radishes into penis shapes, and dress up as their favorite cartoon character with one part of his anatomy dramatically enlarged! The whole thing is presided over by a priest, and there are weird Shinto rituals that are carried out as well.
The festival celebrates the vanquishing of a demon that lived in a woman’s vagina and would bite off the penises of her lovers!
According to legend, a local craftsman fashioned a steel phallus which broke the demon’s teeth.
We should all give thanks and praise.
