OMG! This SEX tradition in Japan will blow your mind | 日本の祭り
Japan has so many unique traditions. Maybe even taboo when viewed from the perspective of other cultures. One of them is related to sex.
Apparently, traditional Japanese culture regards sex as something sublime. Although not as open as western people in matters of sex, intercourse is considered a form of procreation and a symbol of fertility.
Of the many ancient traditions of Japan, here are 5 of them which are closely related to sex.
Honor Matsuri.
In fact, Honen Matsuri is a harvest festival that is celebrated by residents of Komaki, Aichi every March 15th. The harvest that is celebrated does not have to be agricultural produce. Abundant money, livestock, and the presence of offspring are also considered as a harvest to be grateful for.
Interestingly, this festival involves a ritual parade of mikoshi (small shrines) with male virility statues called oowasegata. The male genitalia is considered a symbol of fertility, a blessing that will ensure a bountiful harvest.
Thanks to this uniqueness, Honen Matsuri has become one of the tourist attractions in Komaki. Tourists from all over the world come especially to witness the celebration.
Breast temple.
Japan has several shrines that worship women's breasts. Two of them are Ryuuon Ji or better known as Mama Kannon in Aichi and Jison-in in Kudoyama, Wakayama. In the second courtyard of the shrine, there are many statues, dolls or amulets in the form of female breasts.
Breasts are associated with Kannon, the goddess of compassion in Japanese mythology. It is said that worshiping the goddess at the breast shrine will bring the blessing of an easy birth. In Jison-in, pilgrims believe that a breast amulet that has been blessed with prayer can bring healing to women who are sick. There are also teenagers who come there to ask for their breasts to thrive in a beautiful shape. It's nothing, right?
Kanamara Matsuri'
If Komaki has Honen Matsuri, Kawasaki has Kanamara Matsuri. Literally, Kanamara Matsuri means 'big iron penis god'. This festival takes place in the first week of April and has survived since the 17th century.
In this festival, the male genitalia is a symbol of resistance against evil forces. That said, there used to be a demon who hid in a girl's vagina and then castrated two men's genitals at once. Then the girls asked the help of a blacksmith to make iron genitals to exorcise demons.
During the Kanamara Matsuri, visitors can buy various knick-knacks in the shape of the male genitalia, including bread, candy, toys and accessories.
Konsei Matsuri.
Konsei Matsuri is a festival of riding male genitalia in Japan. The participants are women who want to have children or husbands. Celebrated every year on April 29 at the Osawa Hot Spring, the Konsei Matsuri is believed to induce pregnancy for female participants, as well as make them easier to mate with.
The female participants will perform a ritual washing of a wooden penis-shaped statue weighing about 150 kilograms and 1.4 meters long. Then, one lucky female participant will be appointed to ride the statue.
Geisha.
The existence of geisha as one of the relics of ancient Japanese traditions is indeed unique. Starting from prostitutes, aka ordinary commercial sex workers, the geisha profession developed into high-class entertainers, who are sometimes equated with artists. The reason is, geisha do undergo special training for years and are required to master a number of branches of the arts such as dance, music, and literature.
If usually sex workers are viewed negatively, the geisha tradition is actually proud of by the Japanese. Only women of great talent may undergo training as geisha. Meanwhile for male customers, dealing with geisha is a prestige. The reason is, geisha who are very successful can be picky customers. A thick wallet alone does not guarantee that someone can get a geisha's attention, especially if one can make savings
