Actually what's the rational behind this festival? Achieving adulthood?
Not all of Japan I believe but perhaps a town. I am guessing it is a fertility rite festival.
a local penis-venerating shrine once popular among prostitutes who wished to pray for protection from sexually transmitted diseases. It is said that there are also divine protections for business prosperity and for the clan's prosperity and for easy delivery, marriage, and married-couple harmony. there is also a legend of a sharp-toothed demon (vagina dentata) that hid inside the vagina of a young woman and castrated two young men on their wedding nights. As a result, the young woman sought help from a blacksmith, who fashioned an iron phallus to break the demon's teeth, which lead to the enshrinement of the item.today, the festival has become something of a tourist attraction and is used to raise money for HIV research. tokyo dont have this festival ...even a lot of japanese born in tokyo does not even know that festival exists .
Thanks drifter, I got those pics from another website but no details given on what it is all about. Not all Asians are so prudish like Singapore. The Japanese are fun-loving people and steeped in culture.
Penis worship has been going on since ancient time in all over the world. It's called the phallus or phallic worship.
The Lingam is the symbol of a very special part of the Hindu god Shiva's body. (Hint: It's his cock.)
Within the trinity of Hinduism, Shiva is the god of destruction and change. How much of that destruction is wrought with his four arms and how much comes from his manhood? We leave that to the reader to decide.
In Hindu mythology, when Shiva is killed, the goddess Kali squats over his body, rips out and eats his organs, and then mounts his still erect manrod to complete the cycle of creation. It's also worth noting that in most Hindu art and temples, his "linga" is usually depicted without the rest of him, the disembodied member being worshiped all by itself:

In Singapore, carrying something like that in public will have the police coming over to arrest the person.

singapore cannot ? then why sexshop in singapore can sell dildo ?
Japan is pretty huge correct? Stuff that occurs in say the northern part of the country the ppl in the south wouldn't know.
Children cannot go into these sex shops. Carrying a huge replica of the male organ is considered obscene and anyone doing so will be arrested.
