Japanese Artist Indicted For 'Vagina Kayak'

http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2014/12/24/372930553/japanese-artist-indicted-for-vagina-kayak

Provocative Japanese artist Megumi Igarashi, who has been arrested twice this year on charges related to her design for a kayak that incorporates a 3-D model of her genitals, has been indicted on charges that she distributed "obscene" data.

The case has attracted wide attention, both for its unique circumstances and for its depiction of how Japan's pornography laws interact with cutting-edge technology and images of the female body.
