Japan: A man with swollen testicles. From the Kaikidan Ekotoba Monster Scroll, mid-19th century. Long ago, a man with massive testicles reportedly made a living as a sideshow attraction at Mount Satta, on the old Tokaido Road near the city of Shizuoka. His scrotum is said to have measured about a metre across. The Kaikidan Ekotoba is a mid-19th century handscroll that profiles 33 legendary monsters and human oddities, mostly from the Kyushu region of Japan, but with several from other countries, including China, Russia and Korea.
