Penis Size MATTERS


Hihokan




	Hihokan are Japanese sex museums. They appear all over the islands from the 'Beppu Hihokan' in Oita-ken, Kyushu, in the south up to the 'Hokkaido Hihokan' near Sapporo in the far norIn Japan, there are many sex museums called "Hihokan (House of Hidden Treasures)" everywhere across the country. They are located in amusement centers in popular sightseeing spots or spa resorts, and ran by individuals, not by organizations. They date back to the 1960s–70s; more recently such type of amusement resorts for elder men have declined, and many personal sex museums closed in the 1990sth.





	In April 1971 Japan’s first Erotic Museum called a Hihokan which stands for opened in Awa, Okushima. However, the exhibits were limited to phallic/vulvic altar symbols and intercourse themed antiques as you could see since centuries in bigger Shinto shrines.





	Later in the same year when the “Original International House of Hidden Treasures” opened its doors in October 1971 in Ise, Mie, the term Hihokan entered the Japanese mainstream.



	The universal preoccupation with size is very much shared by the Japanese phalluses and statuettes in different and incredible positions. All from a huge nine-foot wooden penis and shelves of smaller penises. Miscellaneous selection of sculpture and ritual items related to genitalia: lingams and yonis of stone and wood, African fertility figures with pendulous breasts and massive buttocks.



	In addition to all kind of sexual pictures things in the museums, penises are of course a most important thing to show.
