Japan's Sexual Gods is an authoritative and original work that
describes the unique deities represented by sexual objects in
certain Japanese shrines and temples. Hundreds of sexual shrines
still exist in spite of previous repression and range from the
Tagata Shrine with its well-known giant festival phallus to small
obscure places. Many also contain female sexual imagery and some
phalluses act in a protective role. The study is based on
observations of over 500 sexual sites including phallic festivals,
many of which are modern inventions created purely for commercial
reasons. The study makes an assessment of the place of sexual
beliefs in modern Japan and includes almost 300 stunning original
photographs, a glossary and a highly detailed map.
