Be warned. Be careful what you have in your drawer or on your phone, hard drive or cloud.
While the government was pressured by mangaka and animators to exclude comic book and drawn images from the new pornography laws passed in 2014, it seems the courts do not agree.
The Tokyo District Court has found an artist "guilty of violating the child pornography law by creating and selling realistic computer graphic images of a naked girl," reports the Asahi Shimbun.
The court on March 15 sentenced Akashi Takahashi, a 55-year-old computer graphic designer from Gifu city, to a one-year ...

We blogged last autumn about the Rokudenashiko's upcoming first English-language book, What Is Obscenity? The Story of a Good For Nothing Artist and her Pussy.
Now the Canada-based Koyama Press has released more details and images ahead of its release in May.
The book is written by "vagina artist" Rokudenashiko (the artist name of Megumi Igarashi), translated by Anne Ishii, and edited by Anne Ishii and Graham Kolbeins. The cover is by the famous designer Chip Kidd.
Rokudenashiko has been arrested twice for "obscenity" for making and distributing artworks based on her ...
What seemed to be a one-off by a former SKE48 that proved such a hit it developed into a longer porn career, and Momona Kito (now performing under the name Yua Mikami) has morphed into a fully fledged AV star. Her new-found confidence and sass is obvious if you compare her rather timid first appearance last year with this year's releases.
Here are some stills from her latest porn release, which really show off Momona's breasts. Out April 1st, the setting is thrillingly domestic. The bathing scene looks seriously hot.
Currently Momona is releasing a new AV ...

We're loving the ever-growing range of otoko no ko items that are appearing in the Japanese adult market right now.
Mainly produced by Tama Toys, these products tread the ambiguous line between cosplay-style costumes and actual cross-dressing accessories.
That said, we have never seen anything quite like this one.
The Otoko no Ko Crossdresser Cock Bag allows you to cover up your penis (erect or flaccid) and complete your transgender transformation.
As Kanojo Toys say, the stretchy and comfortable "bag" fits snugly over your member's head, shaft and balls. It gives you ...

More and more Japanese businessmen staying at love hotels

Who stays at love hotels? It might not be who you think.
The current inbound tourism boom is leading to a serious shortage in regular hotel rooms for traveling businessmen. Business hotels have the lowest vacancy rate ever, it seems, meaning the on-the-move salaryman has fewer choices for where to stay.
Where are they turning? According to this article on Ignition, it's to love hotels.
It turns to Ken Sato, the manager of the HOTEL SULATA (their caps, not ours) chain, a new contender in the packed field.
It opened its main hotel in Dogenzaka, the "love hotel hill" district of ...
Zhichen Ye is strange, sexy Taiwanese “bikini mask girl” version of Hentai Kamen

/ Tadashi Anahori
If you thought the Hentai Kamen was strange enough, wait until you meet this Taiwanese spin-off: Zhichen Ye.
Zhichen Ye first seemed to appear in 2013 when the first Hentai Kamen movie came out.
Here she is at some bizarre event where the underground fetish idol is dressed in a white mankini and black stockings, and with her signature panties over her face as she is adored by a wild horde of men that might just tear her apart any second.
Okay, so her get-up is pretty peculiar, but you can't deny the mystery and bizarreness doesn't make her seem ...
Goddess of Twitter: G-cup busty office lady strips naked
March 8, 2016
/ Tadashi Anahori
This Japanese office lady (OL) has an incredible G-cup bust that she is really keen to show off.
See her strip and pose for photos in her home, including in the bath.
She is such the nymphomaniac that she is happy to show all or pretty much all of her face.
Some of the shots are a bit grainy but the quality of her breasts and thighs more than makes up for the resolution.
From the evidence she would seem to be in her twenties, lives alone, and smokes... and looks great when wet.
Can anyone ...
The life and work of transgender Japanese costumes artist Pyuupiru

/ Megumi
Ignition has posted an article about transgender artist Pyuupiru, who makes costumes such as the elaborate "Planetaria" series.
The article also provides a glimpse into the domestic arrangements of someone in Tokyo who has undergone sex realignment, living in the suburbs and taking in stray cats.
She was born a man, she explains, but always felt she had the soul of a woman. Having suffered for much of her life from obsessive-compulsive disorder and severe depression, she began making art around the same time she began to think about changing her body and identity. Born out of such ...
Does Japan’s porn industry exploit young women?

/ Tadashi Anahori
An AFP article doing the rounds on sites like Japan Today and Mail Online has some bad things to say about Japanese porn.
The headline blasts: "Japan's porn industry preys on young women, say rights advocates".
Well, not an unfamiliar topic, we hear you say.
Japanese women are being exploited and abused in Japan’s multi-billion dollar pornographic film industry, rights advocates said on Thursday, calling on authorities to strengthen laws to protect them.
Pornography is widely available in Japan, where some actresses become well known enough to appear on mainstream TV chat ...
