This is because Japan is known for having <em>weird<\/em>, at least weird to us, habits and celebrations. The Kanamara Matsuri festival, or the festival of the Steel Phallus, is a great example of these weird celebrations. It is held on the first Sunday of April, and tourists worldwide come to witness the events with their own eyes. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailybase.com\/en\/category\/news\/\"><strong>Keep on reading to discover<\/strong><\/a> what the festival is all about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_81 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailybase.com\/en\/kanamara-matsuri-japans-festival-of-the-steel-phallus\/#Everything_will_have_the_shape_of_a_penis_throughout_the_Festival_of_the_Steel_Phallus\" >Everything will have the shape of a penis throughout the Festival of the Steel Phallus!<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailybase.com\/en\/kanamara-matsuri-japans-festival-of-the-steel-phallus\/#The_origin_of_the_Kanamara_Matsuri_festival\" >The origin of the Kanamara Matsuri festival<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailybase.com\/en\/kanamara-matsuri-japans-festival-of-the-steel-phallus\/#Prostitutes_used_to_visit_the_Kanayama_Shrine_as_protection\" >Prostitutes used to visit the Kanayama Shrine as protection<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-everything-will-have-the-shape-of-a-penis-throughout-the-festival-of-the-steel-phallus\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Everything_will_have_the_shape_of_a_penis_throughout_the_Festival_of_the_Steel_Phallus\"><\/span>Everything will have the shape of a penis throughout the Festival of the Steel Phallus!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the reasons the festival is becoming so popular among tourists is because of the symbol of the festival, which is a giant steel Phallus. For those who don&#8217;t know what a phallus is, it is an erect penis. During the festival period, you can find penises and vaginas everywhere such as chains, little statues, treats, and much more. This is why most of the tourists want to experience the festival as it is fun for them. However, there is an actual origin story to the festival.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailybase.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/12\/Steel-penis.jpg\" alt=\"People eating penis shaped candy \" class=\"wp-image-6981\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dailybase.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/12\/Steel-penis.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.dailybase.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/12\/Steel-penis-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dailybase.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/12\/Steel-penis-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dailybase.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/12\/Steel-penis-585x329.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Credit: Euronews<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-origin-of-the-kanamara-matsuri-festival\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_origin_of_the_Kanamara_Matsuri_festival\"><\/span>The origin of the Kanamara Matsuri festival<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The festival is held in Kawasaki in Kanagawa, a 40-minute car ride from Tokyo, and is the place where the Kanayama Shrine is located. It used to be a popular place for travelers to get a little pit stop and have a break from traveling. However, resting wasn&#8217;t the only thing these travelers could do here. Because of the place&#8217;s popularity, multiple brothels were opened where travelers could also find company from prostitutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The shrine was made to honor two gods, Kanayamahiko-no-Kami and Kanatamahime-no-Kami, who saved the goddess Izanami No Mikoto after she birthed a fire god and was injured in the process. The two gods healed the injuries, however, these were the gods of mining and blacksmiths.<br><br>However, later in time there also was a tale of a woman who had a Demon living in her privates. Because of this, she couldn&#8217;t live a normal life as the demon had bit off the penises of multiple partners. Eventually, a blacksmith helped her by making a steel penis on which the demon broke its teeth. One of the gods in the shrine is the god for blacksmiths which explains the icon of a steel phallus!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailybase.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/12\/Steel-penis-3.jpg\" alt=\"People selling steel phallus shaped candy\" class=\"wp-image-6979\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dailybase.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/12\/Steel-penis-3.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.dailybase.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/12\/Steel-penis-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dailybase.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/12\/Steel-penis-3-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dailybase.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/12\/Steel-penis-3-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.dailybase.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/12\/Steel-penis-3-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Credit: X platform<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-prostitutes-used-to-visit-the-kanayama-shrine-as-protection\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prostitutes_used_to_visit_the_Kanayama_Shrine_as_protection\"><\/span>Prostitutes used to visit the Kanayama Shrine as protection<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since there were a lot of prostitutes working in the area of the shrine, and since it was supposed to help with female fertility, the prostitutes started praying to it as well.
