Talk:Kanamara Matsuri

What's the difference between this and Hounen Matsuri? 惑乱 分からん * \)/ (\ (&lt; \) (2 /) /)/ * 13:20, 22 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Location, and the origin story, which unfortunately isn't on the Hounen Matsuri page. Boneyard90 (talk) 23:51, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Could someone with familiarity with the legend please clarify it? Was the girl getting married, or did the demon (via the girl) lure young men who were to be married to other girls? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.38.46.186 (talk) 23:52, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Completely inaccurate
This horrible description was written from the viewpoint of a degenerate westerner. This makeshift "shrine" has absolutely nothing to do with penis veneration. The festival is a Buddhist fertility rite. It is westerners who have made this a joke fest with phallus popsicles so the drunkards can pose for a picture of themselves with mouths agape for their idiot friends on Facebook.

The "shrine" itself is a ruin. It is really a dump ground for ugly, weathered Buddhist stone objects. The huge pink phallus is nowhere to be seen.

This ridiculous article should be removed from Wikipedia. Dangnad (talk) 11:28, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
