Shinto fertility festivals held annually in Japan are penis-venerating celebrations that involve phallic processions and penis parades. Japan hosts a number of unusual and notorious festivals including the Kanamara Matsuri and the Hōnen Matsuri. While the main event at a penis festival usually involves the parading of a long phallus carved from Japanese wood, this blog presents to you the festival foreplay, a top list of penis festival souvenirs.

The penis forms the central theme of the event that is reflected everywhere, candy, carved vegetables, decorations, and a mikoshi parade.
The Kanamara Matsuri is cantered around a local penis-venerating shrine once popular among prostitutes who wished to pray for protection against sexually transmitted diseases. It is said that there are divine protections also in business prosperity and the clan's prosperity, easy delivery, marriage, and married couple harmony. There is also a legend of a sharp-toothed demon that hid inside the vagina of a young girl and castrated two young men on their wedding nights (vagina dentata). As a result, the young girl sought help with a blacksmith, who fashioned an iron phallus to break the demon's teeth, leading to the enshrinement of the item.
Today, the festival has become somewhat of a tourist attraction and is used to raise money for HIV research
How weird can this get?
