Japan’s Vagina Artist Gets Split Verdict: Vagina-Shaped Kayak Is Art, But Digital Scan Of Her Vagina Is Smut

Megumi Igarashi – a.k.a. Rokudenashiko (roughly, “Little Miss Good-for-Nothing”) – made headlines worldwide in 2014 when she was arrested for making and showing a kayak modeled on a mold of her private parts. Now a judge has ruled that her bright yellow v-boat, as well as little figurines she sells, are indeed art (and thus protected under law), but distributing files for 3D-printing replicas of her vagina is “distributing obscenity.”
