Bigger is Better . . . ?

Check out the Fertility Festival & parade held every year on March 15, near Nagoya, Japan. We've never been, but I'm hoping we can go next year. Curious about what's 1-1/2 meters long & is carried from one shrine to another during the parade? Check it out here, but be warned -- it's NOT appropriate for children or those who blush easily: http://www.yamasa.org/japan/english/destinations/aichi/tagata_jinja.html
