Artist Rokudenashiko Receives Mixed Verdict in Obscenity Trial
In a ruling announced on Monday, the Tokyo District Court found the Japanese artist Rokudenashiko not guilty of obscenity for displaying artwork resembling a vagina in a Tokyo sex shop in July 2014. According to a report from NBC, the court ruled that the artwork, made with colored materials, fake fur and glitter, could be considered pop art. However, the artist was convicted of distributing indecent material and fined 400,000 yen ($3,691 USD) for circulating 3D printer data that allows users to create precise replicas of her genitals.
