   	In Volume 2 of the Yagyu Ninja Scrolls on page 69 there is   
   a phallic looking pillar near the Oyaji Bridge is shown decorated   
   with shingawa and surrounded by small round stones with the doubtlessly   
   translated (to romanji) inscription "Doso Kinrei Daijinrei";   
      
   	So the question is what does the inscription say?   
      
   	And is this one of the phallic shrines destroyed later during   
   the Meji era when they were trying to clean up for the Westerners?
