KANAMARA festival (PENIS Festival) in Japan / Kanayama Shrine in 2024

In 2024, I experienced the Japanese “Kannamara Festival” held at the Kanayama Shrine. This shrine was traditionally visited by people engaged in the S*X industry to pray for protection against venereal diseases.
Today, the festival is also famous as a festival to ward off AIDS.　It is also believed that participating in this festival will bring good luck for prosperous business, childbirth, easy childbirth, marriage, and marital harmony. The festival is also called “Utamaro Matsuri” (festival of Utamaro) in honor of Utamaro Kitagawa, an ukiyoe woodblock artist famous for his spring paintings.
