I know what you're thinking... This is Japan, what could the title possibly suggest? Well, it is exactly what the title says, a Japanese printing company, Hakkou Art got busted when they published over 4,000 uncensored books.Most of you living outside of Japan is questioning why is this illegal? The internet is full of uncensored content and magazines at a local 7-11 sells uncensored books as well. This is where Japanese law becomes strange... It is OK to view just about any content including little girls but it's not okay to publish it. This law is very, very old in fact that's how tentacle hentai was born. In the past, it was illegal to publish drawings or paintings of human penetration and the workaround was to use things like octopus. Today, this law continues but instead of forbidding the act entirely, it has to be censored. Pretty boring right? Well that's just how things are in Japan but publishers find creative ways to get away with it, typically doing so illegally.In this case, Hakkou Art (publisher) got caught when they published the Leslie Kee series which portrayed full uncensored male Genitals. The president of the company, Toichi Kodama(71) and his son Takeshi(34) were both taken into custody. The books themselves contained approximately 50 pages of uncensored images.It may be a surprise to hear such kind of news coming from Japan, but there are strict laws against certain types of pornography and as such, anyone visiting, residing, or doing business in the country should follow the law or end up like Toichi and Takeshi Kodama. There's no word on to what will happen with those two but similar cases involve imprisonment and heavy fines.
