I’ll just point out that there are a lot of matsuri (festivals) that *aren’t* fertility-related. Summer in Japan is distressingly hot and humid and festivals are traditional events for celebrating and honouring a variety of aspects of life. For example, [Obon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bon_(festival)) is about remembering and reflecting on one’s ancestors.
I mean, I come from a state where women flashed their tits for strangers to throw plastic necklaces at them while everyone got embarassingly drunk and made poor life choices, so… Looks pretty normal to me.
I was there for the festival in 2017, the penis pops are salty and supposed to taste like cum and the vagina pops are supposed to taste like… well, vaginas. I can’t attest to the accuracy of the penis pops but the vagina pops tastes like salty cotton candy.
I’m just going to say, if you’re an American male looking to hook up with a Japanese girl… go to this. (5 years in Japan, who visited 3 times with great success). Bonus: Don’t even need Rule 1. or Rule 2.
I lived in Tokyo during most of my childhood, and went to an American private school. We had a bunch of field trips, and one during middle school just happened to coincide with Kanamara Matsuri. The teachers were not too pleased when we left the hotel to see a giant wooden penis being paraded down the street. Needless to say, we did not handle the situation with maturity.
That’s just weird af lol
Bachelorette party for the whole country
Apparently the older culture used fertility as their excuse for softcore porn/fetish/debauchery
Japan: Wooohoooo Penises YEAAAAHHH – nobody is having kids
America: Ohhh god, that´s the most disgusting thing imagineable, Jesus save my innocent soul – so anyways we´re having our fifth child in August

Looks more like a penis festival rather than fertility, or did I miss the representaion of the female gender?
Japan’s fertility rate has been underwater for like 50 years, so I don’t think it’s working.
Lots of happy people.Looks fun.

Matsuri time it’s kinda fun. It’s like really small though. Nice walk in Kawasaki though and you get to take some good pictures of the big black cock.
I feel like there is a larger more popular one than this but I can’t remember where.
So much penis with no vagina
The japanese are weird man…

I will personally fight against any country that tries to take over this country and abolish this ceremony
Weird that there wasn’t a giant pink vagina float coming from the other direction at a fertility festival.
I don’t like this
That one mask just makes me think of Clockwork orange and Alex’s penis mask.I mean, we was carrying a giant dick during that scene
