Japanese artist, Megumi Igarashi, who made global headlines when she created a vagina-shaped kayak back in 2014 has been convicted in an obscenity trial that lasted almost two years.
On Monday, Tokyo District Court slapped the 44-year-old artist with a guilty verdict and a 400,000 yen ($3,670) fine. The penalty was half of what prosecutors demanded.
Igarashi, who uses the pseudonym “Rokude Nashiko,” which stands for reprobate child, was arrested in July 2014 for distributing data that allowed users to make 3D prints of her vagina.
