This is a photo from the Shinto Kanamara Matsuri festival; it is the festival of the steel Penis.
It holds every first Sunday of April and is a religious observance which takes place at the Kanyama shrine.
The phallus is illustrated in various forms and shapes. Its origin is basically from prostitutes who gather to venerate a penis while praying for protection from STDs
What a culture!!!
