Japan produced 8.7 million blogs at the end of March, and the U.S. an estimated 12 million blogs -- making blogging far more popular in Japan, taking the countries' relative populations into account. An estimated 25 million Japanese -- more than a fifth of the population -- are believed to read blogs.

Japan Penis Day Posted: 9 months ago by tgkprog
Penile celebrations/festivals are very, very old. Japan keeps up its old customs and that is why these are still going on each year. They are Shinto religious ceremonies tied in with fertility gods and held out in the small farm, country villages.
They revere FERTILITY and if the man in their culture is #1, so of course, it would be the penis. They are also tourist attractions and bring lots of westerners to see these festivals!

Japan has just invented another way of eating, where a “body” is made from food and placed on an operating table, much as though in a hospital. You can operate anyway and anywhere you want by cutting open the body and eating what you find inside.
