Did I miss National Penis Day in Japan?

[trof]

How did we miss it? March 1 was Penis Day in Japan . Here are the photos. The actual festival is called Honen Matsuri. Celebrated every March 01 in Komaki, a town about 45 minutes north of Nagoya , Japan , this is the time of year where folks haul out a large wooden penis to give three cheers to fertility and renewal. The custom is an old one that is connected to bringing about a good harvest and having babies.

2. Every day on the Tokyo Subway is National Penis Day

There's a joke in Japan that the chikans (perverts) are so prevalent on the Tokyo Subway system, that every day on the subway is National Penis Day.
There's also a joke that Japanese high school girls' uniform skirts are so short in Tokyo, that every day in the school yard is National Vagina Day.
Says a lot about Japanese culture :)
