These photos are from the Kanamara festility festival in Kawasaki, Spring 2007. Kanamara literally means “iron penis”. The festival is said to have been started by local prostitutes for protection against syphillis. These days it raises money for AIDs education.
The main event of the festival involves hefting an enormous pink phallus through the streets of Kawasaki.
After that, there’s time for photos
and a rest . . .
Here’s a link to a gallery of all the Kanmara festival photos
The old man looks happy.
