The reason why do Japanese porn have genitalia pix
In Japan, under Article 175 of the Criminal Code, people who sell or distribute obscene materials can be punished by fines or imprisonment. Article 175 was included in the original document in 1907 and remains relatively unchanged.
Showing pubic hair and adult genitalia were once considered obscene It is not uncommon for video pornography routinely depicts explicit sex scenes with the participants' genitalia obscured by mosaics.
Many video production companies belong to ethical associations which provide guidance on what is acceptable and what is not.
The Nihon Ethics of Video Association, is an example of such organization.
The Nihon Ethics of Video Association (NEVA) is a Japanese video rating organization. NEVA was founded in 1972 and had its headquarters in Tokyo It was a voluntary organization to ensure adherence to Japanese obscenity laws which prohibit any display of genitals.
This is accomplished by a mosaic pixelation applied to videos for sale in Japan and the NEVA seal is placed on all videos produced by member studios, which included the larger and older adult video studios in Japan, including H.m.p., Kuki Inc., and Alice Japan belonged to NEVA.
In recent years, the mosaic has been digitally applied and has become more transparent and in June 2007 some restrictions (such as showing pubic hair) were lifted by NEVA.
In response, on August 23, 2007 the Tokyo Metropolitan police raided the offices of NEVA and several AV studios (including H.m.p.) and confis**ted videos as part of an investigation of video producers and distributors suspected of distributing obscene material depicting genitals.
At the beginning of March 2008, five members of NEVA, including, Hiroyuki Gorogawa the former C.E.O. of H.m.p. and one of the board members of NEVA, and the head of the inspection division, were arrested for the sale and distribution of indecent material because the digital mosaic used was too revealing.
In April 2008, NEVA announced it would be forming a new organization to provide reforms and uniform screening practices for videos.
