The annual Hōnen festival aka Penis festival:
Events clockwise from top left.
- Twelve Japanese men spin a giant wooden phallus at the Tagata Shinto Shrine in Komaki.
- The big wood willy is displayed in the inner shrine. The penis is traditionally carved from a single Japanese cypress tree.
- An elderly woman prays while rubbing two stone testicles.
- A Japanese woman gets her mouth around a penis-shaped hotdog, wrapped in a pancake (symbolising the union of penis and vagina).
