Spring Parade Of Japanese Private Parts.

Springtime means a lot of things to a lot of people. It symbolizes the end of cold, dreary winter. It’s when trees blossom, birds sing, bees buzz, etc, etc. To me, spring doesn’t really mean much. We don’t have “spring” or “winter” in my neck of the woods. It’s either sunny or it’s raining. The. End.

But still, spring’s important, I guess.

That’s why so many countries have different ways of celebrating spring.  You’ve got spring break in the US which involves the beach, very little clothing and copious amounts of alcohol.

Momma would be so proud.

Then you’ve got the Japanese Cherry Blossom Festival

Soooo… pretty…

Also celebrated in Japan during the spring are the Penis and Vagina Festivals. You read right. If you’ve never heard of them before, every spring various parts of the country to celebrate fertility.  This event goes back about 1,500 years and draws hunderds of thousands.

The most famous of these is the 90 minute “penis procession” every March 15 to Komaki City’s Tagata Shrine where a giant wang is paraded through the streets

Other villages have similarly awkward processions…

Hey! I think you made the house too small!

Everyone takes including part women and children.

The very moment they think, "What if..?"

Th keep things balanced some villages hold vagina festivals. At both, you can buy an assortment of gifts. Like candles.

Or even novelty items.

Ooh ! Ooh! It's a mortar and pestle… and… I'm not too sure.

She looks like a satisfied customer.

Keep in mind, these festivals are an ancient tradition that celebrate fertility and prosperity and are not in any way intended to be perverted.

Nope… not an all.

  1. Booking my trip now! This, I need to see!

    • Don’t hesitate. March isn’t too far away.

  2. Does anyone else find it ironic that they make massively HUGE penises, when their county is kind of known for having the opposite?

    Was that mean?

    • Not really. I’m not Japanese. Neither am I-AHEM!-Worried for any other reason.

  3. There is a Testicle Festival every year in Montana celebrating the sacred tradition of eating the end product of bull castration.

    I think a big wang parade would be more palatable.

    • Actually, I don’t think either concept would leave me with a good taste in my mouth.

  4. Oh. My. God.

    • You had that “What if?” moment, didn’t you?

  5. Only the Japanese can make the strangest things appear perfectly normal.
    Fertility. Obviously. What was I thinking?

    • It’s why I love them so.

  6. I may have to add that festival to my Bucket List. I have to see this.

    • …And pick up one of those ashtrays, right?
