THis is shrine. there are lots of shrines in Japan next to Starback coffe shop but shrine is very divine place more than starback and no charge. there are lots of reason to build shrine. but the common aim is to worship something. what do jap worship ? God. But you know, almost all Jap have no religion. shrine have no relation with religion. We just feel sacred to every things and belieave in the god in every things. we belieave god in computer, god in sun, god in coin, god in pencil, god in soap or anythings. and to worship such thing more formally, we build shrine. our carnival event is based on this each worshippings.
different with religion, this randam worshipping have no precepts. just worship.
Yes, we worship randamly anything !
THis is inside of shrine. and the middle of this cottage is this shrine’s god to be worshipped.
Can you recognize what this shrine is dedicated to ?
Yes, it is very big size more than black people’s one, so you maybe still cannot recognise.
THese stature is also dedicated to this shrine’s god. Hey, look carefully the shape of these statue !
Yes, this is penis shrine. and these are penis statures.
PENIS is worshipped in this shrine very seriously and divinely.
THe reason this penis shrine was build here is this big tree. old people who build this shrine is think this big tree as the god of pussy. The breach of this tree was seemed as vagina lips for the people. Yes, old people think that pussy need dick and dick need pussy. so here is the most ideal place for dick shrine.
The evidence of their worship is serious is they decorate dick stature and pussy tree with divine straw ropes.
and there are lots of dick and pussy goods. this is candy of penis and pussy. It’s not joke toy. this is serious divine tribute. we seriously lick pussy and suck dick for the sacred mission.
This is dick shape sake bottle. of course contents is not milk but sake. this also sold as a sacred reason.
and this is sacred dick stature. this is sold for the person who want to own dick god in their home.
People buy it for sacred reason superficically. I don’t know what they really use these statue of dick god after they buy it.
This guy is the creator of these stature fo dick god. and i think he shoud be also god of gay. He creat thousand of dicks.
In front of his house, there are big dick proudly.
And this is the his secret factory of dick god.
He make them only winter term. because there are nothing to do because of fucking snow. Yes, here is Niigata province, rural area, where it is famous for the heavy snow.
THis macine is tuned for the penis making specially.
and peple enshrine Dick god in their house.
People put dick god in their house quite seriously.

Comments
That dick-candy was just too much. >_
Hilarious. I’ve heard of this dick shrine, and the dick festival. I wonder how well those dick and pussy candies would sell here in the U.S.
Great post, Masa.
Let me get this straight. You can’t show dick or pussy on porn videos or in pictures. But you can have huge statues of dicks and pussy out in public?
That’s fucking stupid.
========================from MasaManiA
yes, it’s fuckimg stupid. I don’t know why. I think I also one of stupid Japs.
I’d like you to make a report about the 靖国 shrine or something related with the war crimes commited by japanese troops during World War 2. I also want to know why japanese government doesn’t want to say sorry to chinese
=============from MasaManiA
I am not Japanese government. so i also dont know why. this is same situation with American people to Bush government.
2005’s the year of the cock on the chinese calendar. The had better straighten things out already. Fallen cocks are not a good sign.
hey masa, do you think it would be a good idea if i put a divine straw rope around my dick?
================from MasaManiA
I think nobody care for your dick.
What do the kanji say on the side of the sake bottle?
==================from MasaManiA
Just the name of this shrine, Hodare shurine. and that say “we pray your good birthing.”
Hahahah, Masamania, you’re the absolute funniest guy! Everything you post and write about is so fasinating and funny. This article would have to be one of my favorites.
I think you should produce a libne of sweatshirts or tee shirts for sale on your website so you can make some money doing this.
What’s your normal job in Tokyo?
====================from MasaManiA
Now I am journalist. but this job has completely no relation with my site.
ROFL, I couldn’t stop laughing as I read through this…and before someone else says it, this guy must really love the cock =/
And if I ever go to Japan, you can be sure that I’ll bring back some of that penis candy for people back home…lol
I want to say something about your comment on how Japanese government won’t apologize to the Chinese for World War 2 war crimes and your comparing that to being similar to that of the Americans and their Bush government. I am an American. I deeply apologize to the entire world for what he is doing to it. I do not agree with him at all!
======================from MasaManiA
OK, I understand.
am i the only one who realizes: earthquakes cause impotence!!!!!!
Masa, spread the word! ban Earthquakes for the sake of all our stiff dicks!
==============from MasaManiA
But i am afraid that it increase online viagra shop spam message.
I tot only thai offer to dicks n pussy but know i know there are everywhere!! Nice one dudes but keep urs in ur pant ;P
masa didnt u tell to the penis shrine owner to use ur dick as a model ?

===============from MasaManiA
Yes, it’s really original report. Enjoy!!!
omg, this is a really fucking interesting.
i laughed so hard i cant breathe right now.
good stuffs, masa. keep the good work.
Wow I have never seen so much stiff wood in a place that is suposed to be holy and not just some sumt shop.
oh my O_O;…is it just..worshiping the penis and such..? Or is it the worship of fertility or something as well?
what about tits? There is no booby suckers? is there a titty shrine?
===============from MasaManiA
I think tit is not so divine thing as pussy. How can you feel to worship tit ?
i wood like to share some of this holy candy with some of my lady friends here in america…
how do i buy some and do they come in different sizes?… hahahaha
===============from MasaManiA
You can make candy’s size small by sucking and licking.
“You can make candy’s size small by sucking and licking.”
Hahahahahahahahaha, masa you’re so fricken’ funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are the lollipops REALLY big? Japanese workship big penis.
Hi Masa.
Great site!
What town is this shrine in? I live not far from Niigata and would like to visit the place.
==============from MasaManiA
this place is Shimoraiden, Tochio-shi, Niigata.
To the guy who wonders why the Japanese government has not apologised to the Chinese for WW2, I say this: maybe they are waiting for the chinese government to apologise to its own people first, for killing 45 MILLION Chinese under Mao Tse Tung. Grown up, and learn something about your own goddamned country before attacking Japan for a war that the rest of the world has gotten over.
====================from MasaManiA
it’s difficult problem.
Masa, this is funny as hell. Hats-off. Keep it up.
I saw photos of a street parade in Japan where people dressed similar to monks were carrying a huge wooden cock suspended by ropes through crowds of people. I thought it was a joke at the time…now I know different! Thanks for the post.
All japanese need to appologise to Corea for its crimes and give lots and lots of GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD. Only when Corea is the richest nation and it squish Zapan then we will forgive zapan for all its crimes. Until then we will bring it up again and again and blame you for everything including my diarhea of the mind.
=================from MasaManiA
You are extrem
Masa you are a @#$%#-ing hilarious guy. It is only sad that some people on this site have forgotten how to laugh.
I suddenly got this vision of cosplaying and taking photoshoots at this place… *falls over* @.@ It would certainly make everyone jealous, no doubt ;P
^_^ I fucking LOVE this site! Cheers Masa x
============from MasaManiA
Thank you.
This is one of my favorite postings by you. I love them all but i keep coming back to this one.
i wonder who was the model for the stone carvings? a Lord or samurai perhaps? Did the maker of the stone penis use himself as the real image for the penis? hmmm i like the shape of the tip.. *blush*
======from MasaManiA
I dont know
MATSUTAKI
can you explain this to me?
I have picked this mushroom in the cascade mountains in oregon, in the u.s., and sold them for up to $600. u.s. dollars
a pound, for a #1 button, to buyers that would ship them to japan to be used in a celebratory ceremony?
I was told that it has aphrodisiacal properties!
I dont know if this is true, because I am always horny!
anyways it taste very good, like lobster
please explain this, Matsutaki mushroom to me
========from MasaManiA
Correctly, “Matsutake” is one of the most expensive mashroom that Jap eat. and it certainly similar to Dick.
its good to now that poeple in Japan have a good shens of humor,the look so serious all the thime
Have fun, kind regards from Belgium
===========from MasaManiA
THank you
On the Penis Shrine: it’s hilarious. I love it; it’s great. On the introduction regarding religion: I’m not you sure if you were being sincere or sarcastic but I think it’s beautiful – to respect and appreciate all that are around you whom/which are often taken for granted: On Politics: What’s in the past has past. Please help stopping the genecide in Sudan that is happening right now. Visit http://www.unicefusa.org/site/pp.asp?c=duLRI8O0H&b=50755 or any other organization that is convinient to you.
Following my previous post re genocide in Sudan, if you do not wish to donate money, please help by signing the petition for humanitarian intervention at http://www.darfurgenocide.org/darfurIntervention.php Thank you.
wow soo many dicks
ok, so where does the little sheep on penis_shrine017.jpg fit into that logic??
there is a place here where people are obsessed with penises too. many craftsmen make penises of all shapes, materials and sizes, penis-bottles too, candy penises, you name it, they have it. but they’re mostly joke items, they’re not for worship. when people think of that town, they always associate it with penises, even though they were first famous for their hot water springs.

Americans worship a dying man nailed to wood. In some shrines they have stained glass of mutilated and tortured men. Penis doesn’t seem so wierd to honor compared to that.
But a giant wooden penis is pretty funny wherever you are.
i like penis
日本人,有一套!
massa, love your site, it’s beautiful that the japanese people worship god in everything, enen in dick and pusy
=========from MasaManiA
THank you. Lots of people think it’s stupid thing.
Why does Japanese Government censor their gods?
========from MasaManiA
Because they are stupid
I actually read that the government only recently restricted anything regarding sex and the organs thereof, around the Meiji era. Now, with all of the pornographic animation and comic books, it’s been said that the Japanese are returning to their more open way of life. I’m actually surprised that these shrines survived the Meiji era, but then again, it would be like deciding a church or synagogue had no use, and was then torn down. This was a very interesting article that you posted. I’m also very glad that I read it. I believe that if more people read this, they’ll realize that not everything is as it seems. Maybe, then, we can return to what life once was, before uptight bureacrats controlled everything we do.
think you for look at life in way you do ,it cool
don’t stop/
the jamaica/going to japan
京都にある長健寺ってお寺知っていますか?あそこであそこの形(まんこ)のお守り売っていますよ。。。弁財天様のお寺です。めちゃ面白いよ!
Hi Masa!
Lots of penis, no foreskin. Why? Is this like that whole apologize thing? Everybody wants an appology, but what about a foreskin? Are the foreskin shrines in Korea? In China? In Crawford, Texas? I demand an apology!
OMG this is so hilarious. hey i want those penis and pussy goodies… and i want to buy a penis statue, it’s the best gift for a virgin!!
Masa-kun< Very cool! I saw some for sale in Kyoto at, I think, Takashimaiya or Hankyu Department store. Maybe made by same gentleman. I would like big wooden pussy and one lollipop pussy!
Gambatta!
Like I said bfore, I saw penis at Kyoto Takashimaya or Hankyu store. Also in Kyoto I saw amazing Pig shrine where lotsa people are wedded! IT was on a side street that runs along the side of the KYOTO GOSHO off Marutamachi Dori!
i like penis but, the question is, are they circumcised?
