Experience Japanese unique genitalia worship festivals.
Genitalia worship in Japan is a practice with a deep cultural and religious background dating back to ancient times. It reflects the history of festivals and rituals in which people have used genitalia as symbols to pray for fertility and prosperity.
This unique belief, found throughout Japan, has evolved over time, blending different customs and beliefs from different regions. This article explores in detail the origins, historical background, and evolution of genitalia worship in Japan up to the present day.
When did genitalia worship begin and change?
Genital organ worship in Japan is an ancient form of belief that has been practiced to pray for fertility, prosperity, and procreation. The origin of genitalia worship can be traced back to the Jomon period. During this period, many clay figurines were made in the shape of female genitalia, and these figurines were revered as having magical powers. For example, the “Jomon Venus” and “Shakugi Dogu,” representative clay figures of the Jomon period, were shaped to emphasize the female reproductive organs and were used to pray for fertility and prosperity.
During the Nara and Heian periods, genitalia worship merged with Buddhist and Shinto beliefs. In the Buddhist-influenced Seiten worship, the deity Seiten (joyous heaven) was worshipped as a symbol of harmony between men and women and prosperity of offspring. In Dosojin worship, Dosojin was worshipped as a deity that protected the boundaries of the village, and stone statues in the shape of male and female genitalia were erected.
In the Middle Ages, amidst warfare and social unrest, the desire for fertility and prosperity of offspring became even stronger. During this period, genitalia worship developed into unique festivals and events in each region. For example, in the “Shrine Mairi of Hieda” in Nagasaki Prefecture, women before marriage would visit a shrine and hold a ritual using a sacred object in the shape of male genitalia.
After the Meiji period (1868-1912), genital organ worship was suppressed for a time in manners and customs under the influence of Western culture. However, it has persisted as a local tradition and continues to the present day. For example, at the “Naked Stone Shrine in Himeokayama” in Hyogo Prefecture, village daughters visit the shrine in spring and continue the custom of worshipping a stone that represents the male genitalia.
Genitalia worship that continues to this day.
Genital organ beliefs have been part of traditional Japanese culture since ancient times to pray for fertility, prosperity, and offspringhood.
However, due to modernization and the influence of Western culture, these beliefs gradually declined. Especially after the Meiji period (1868-1912), as Western values and Christian ethics permeated Japanese society, sexual beliefs and rituals gradually came to be condemned and regarded as taboo.
Furthermore, during the period of rapid postwar economic growth, advances in science and technology and the rise of rationalism led to a decline in interest in faith and traditional culture. As a result, festivals and rituals related to genitalia worship were scaled down, and gradually remained only as traditional events limited to local communities.
However, genitalia worship has remained a part of Japanese traditional culture since ancient times and has been handed down to the present day. This belief continues to exist, albeit in different forms, as festivals and events throughout Japan, and plays an important role in strengthening local cultural identity and community cohesion.
“Harvest Festival” at Tagata Shrine in Aichi Prefecture
Particularly famous is the “Harvest Festival” held at the Tagata Shrine in Komaki City, Aichi Prefecture. This festival is held annually on March 15, and is primarily intended to pray for a bountiful harvest and the prosperity of offspring. Tagata Shrine is known for its worship of the gojintai (sacred object), which is a symbolic representation of the male genitalia, and a giant wooden male genitalia, the gojintai, is at the center of the festival.
On the day of the festival, local men parade around the shrine carrying this gigantic ojintai. This portable shrine procession continues from Tagata Shrine to Ogata Shrine, about 1.5 km away. Participants in the procession proceed with the o-mikoshi upheld while praying for a bountiful harvest and prosperity. Along the way, visitors can be seen touching the sacred object and taking pictures.
The origin of the Harvest Festival is not known, but it is an ancient festival that has its roots in prayers for a bountiful harvest in an agrarian society. During the period when agriculture was a major industry, a good harvest and the breeding of livestock were fundamental to people’s lives, and festivals to pray for these were held in great numbers.
The sacred body of the Tagata Shrine symbolizes the birth of life and prosperity, and it is believed that this portable shrine, shaped like a male genitalia, is carried to bring about a bountiful harvest and the flourishing of offspring. The festival also includes a ceremony in which women sprinkle rice in a sacred place in the fields, another important ritual to pray for a bountiful harvest.
The modern Harvest Festival is not only an agricultural ritual, but also an important local tourism resource. Every year, many tourists come to see this unique festival, contributing to the revitalization of the local economy. During the festival, local stores and food stalls are set up, and the entire community is enveloped in a festive atmosphere.
Furthermore, the Harvest Festival is an opportunity to strengthen the unity of the local community. Many local residents participate in the preparation and operation of the festival, and community bonds are strengthened through joint work. For the younger generation in particular, it is an important opportunity to learn about traditional culture and develop an awareness of being part of the community.

Konsei-sama, the sacred object in Japanese genitalia beliefs
Kinsei (Konsei-sama) is a traditional Japanese belief that enshrines a phallic-shaped deity. This deity is called Kinsei Daimyojin or Kinsei-sama, and is sometimes referred to by a variety of phallic symbolic epithets. Kinsei is in the form of an erected phallic organ, signifying a powerful, golden phallic body. The deity originated in genital worship associated with fertility and production, and is said to be beneficial for childbearing, safe childbirth, marriage, healing of venereal diseases, and prosperous business.
Shrines dedicated to the golden spirit exist throughout Japan, but are especially common in the Tohoku and Kanto regions. Representative shrines include Makibori Shrine in Morioka City, Iwate Prefecture, and Kinshinsha Shrine on the border between Nikko City, Tochigi Prefecture, and Katashina Village, Tone County, Gunma Prefecture, both of which worship a phallic-shaped deity. Kinshin is also often enshrined at hot spring resorts. This is because hot springs are considered to be female-oriented, and by enshrining Kinshin, a phallic object, the deity hopes that the hot springs will continue to spring forth without drying up. Osawa Onsen in Hanamaki City, Iwate Prefecture and Steaminoyu Onsen in Kazuno City, Akita Prefecture are typical examples.
Dosojin (god of blockage) also sometimes has a phallic-shaped deity, and is often confused with the golden spirit, but these are fundamentally different deities. However, in some areas, such as Tochigi Prefecture, there are cases where Kinshin and Dosojin have merged. Belief in the spirit of gold takes the form of prayers offered to a phallic object made of stone, wood, or metal.
Thus, the gold spirit is one of Japan’s traditional genitalia worship deities, and is widely believed in, especially in eastern Japan. It is believed to bring many benefits such as fertility, production, childbirth, and safe delivery, and each region has its own distinctive beliefs.
