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.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Tokyo District Court slapped the 44-year-old artist with a guilty verdict<\/a> and a 400,000 yen ($3,670) fine. The penalty was half of what prosecutors demanded.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
