How Did We Miss This Holiday? Celebration of the um, Penis...

How did we miss it?  March 1 5 was Penis Day in Japan . Here are the photos. The actual festival is called Honen Matsuri. Celebrated every March 15 in Komaki, a town about 45 minutes north of Nagoya , Japan , this is the time of year where folks haul out a large wooden penis to give three cheers to fertility and renewal. The custom is an old one that is connected to bringing about a good harvest and having babies.  BELATED HAPPY PENIS DAY TO ALL OF YOU  and I wonder if this makes the woman above a dick head???

Cheers
