Snow/Ice Festival in China 2008

 

The structures on display at ICE! are created by a team of artisans who also participate in the International Ice & Snow festival in Harbin, China.  This event, held in January and February,  is constructed by thousands of professional artisans working with millions of pounds of ice.  As part of the festival, more than 2,000 artisans carve a 100-acre walk-through Ice Park each year from blocks of ice taken from the Songhua River.

This annual festival starts in early January at Zhao Lin Park, which is named after a general buried in the park. Extremely popular among locals and tourists, the festival runs for two months.  The "Harbin International Ice and Snow Festival" is one of the world's four largest ice and snow festivals, along with Japan's Sapporo Snow Festival, Canada's Quebec Winter Carnival, and Norway's Ski Festival.

The Infamous Penis Fertility Festival at the Tagata Shrine in Komaki, Central Japan

Well, the Hounen matsuri (festival), held annually at Komaki's Tagata-jinja shrine, provides plenty of opportunities for all present to get their hands on some outsized phalli.

Yes, this is one of those infamous male fertility festivals that arouse a peculiar brand of curiosity among non-Japanese, particularly those from patrician Europe or North America. The roots of the event are in the agricultural renewal associated with the start of spring, but that is not the reason why people travel to Komaki from all over Japan to witness this spectacle.
