Japanese Fertility Shrine

Japanese Fertility Shrine

Happened to be taking a new way to work the other day due to the massive earthquake we had here last week. With my normal road closed, the road was detoured through an area I had never been before, much to my amazement I came across a very old Fertility Shrine, and had to go back the next day and take the 8x10. After talking to the people in the area its clear that its been there for over a hundred years, though some people keep it clean and occasionally add new wooden phalluses. Thanks for looking.
