かなまら大神輿

The Shinto Kanamara Matsuri (かなまら祭り, "Ritual of the Steel Phallus") 
is held each spring at the Kanayama Shrine (金山神社 )in Kawasaki, 
Japan. The exact dates vary: the main festivities fall on the first Sunday in April.
 The phallus, as the central theme of the event, is reflected in illustrations, 
candy, carved vegetables, decorations, and a mikoshi parade.
The Kanamara Matsuri is centred on a local penis-venerating shrine.
 The legend being that a sharp-toothed demon (vagina dentata) 
hid inside the vagina of a young woman and castrated two young men on their wedding nights.
As a result, the young woman sought help from a blacksmith, 
who fashioned an iron phallus to break the demon's teeth, which led to the enshrinement of the item.
 This legend in Ainu language was published as "The Island of Women" by Basil Hall Chamberlain
The Kanayama Shrine was popular among prostitutes who wished to pray for 
protection from sexually transmitted infections.
It is also said the shrine offers divine protections for business prosperity,
 and for the clan's prosperity; and for easy delivery, marriage, and married-couple harmony.
The festival started in 1977.[ It used to be a small festival, 
but it has become bigger and bigger.[10] Today,
 the festival has become something of a tourist attraction 
and is used to raise money for HIV research。
