A monumental monument member

The decidedly Jolly looking face below belongs, I believe, to the perhaps rather aptly named Daikoku — a deity said to bring wealth, food as well as good fortune.

And when it comes to the latter, he is obviously not opposed to also partaking, happily endowing himself, in this case at least, with a member of suitably monumental massiveness. A penis that can be peeked at by clicking on the picture below, although it should be said that it’s perhaps not safe for work, unless, of course, giant genitalia is legitimate.

      He is in stiff competition with other members of Buddha it is said.

    Ha! Is it just naturally shiny stone, or have people been rubbing it for good luck?

      It was outside a stonemasons, so it could well be for promotional purposes, or somebody may have actually ordered it.

    I wonder if this would be machine ground or a hand job.

    He doesn’t look like Daikoku. Rather… Hotei, another of the Seven Lucky Gods. Most of the time, Daikoku wears a hat (Hotei: no). Well… that’s just my opinion.

    My mind has been read. I had just thought that if Budai has a huge belly, then he would have a huge penis! And Ganesha the Hindu elephant-headed god would have the same thing. Imagine if they were BBBFs (best big-bellied friends), and they could become statues with removable heads, bellies, and penises. If their crossed legs were removed, they could bounce on their bellies! And let’s imagine Budai and Ganesha in female drag. Ganesha could dress up as a belly dancer (though harem girls are Middle Eastern) and Budai could dress up as a geisha (though geishas are Japanese). Budai could also dress up as a mammy (though the mammy is an Afro-American woman) and a sumo wrestler (though they are men and also Japanese). Buddha could also dress up as a belly dancer because of his feminine appearance.
