We stopped off in Nagoya to attend the fertility festival. They only have this festival once a year, so we were pretty lucky that we were able to attend.
These are called something like Potatonadars.
Everyone gathered around and they threw little twigs with notes, and then some rice cakes.
They carve a new e that they carve a new penis each year, and march it down the road. We showed up a little late, and weren't able to see the parade. : (
Chocolate covered bananas.

Crazy. When we went to Pompeii it was similarly extravagant.
