Nihon 2006: Kanamara festival

Some pictures of the small, but famous, festival of Kanamara, in Kawasaki. A very special festival that started to take place during Edo period when prostitutes pray for successful business and protection from syphilis. So, now, people come there more to pray for healthy progeny, fertile marriage, wedded bliss, easy delivery or personal good health. But, people mostly come there to enjoy the scene and have a good day of fun!
