Size matters at Japan phallus festival

A portable shrine bearing a giant phallus is carried through the streets of Kawasaki, a suburb of Tokyo, on April 3, 2016

Kawasaki (Japan) (AFP) - Japanese revellers carried giant phalluses through the streets of Kawasaki on Sunday to worship the humble penis and fertility in one of the world's most unusual festivals.

Size matters at the Shinto Kanamara Matsuri, where groups of locals parade three heavy phalluses around the city -- the biggest as tall as a full-grown man.
