Japanese artist Rokudenashiko is taking the selfie trend to the next level. Using her love for her vagina, she printed out her vagina selfie in 3-D!
Rokudenashiko, whose real name is Megumi Igarashi, was arrested because she allegedly broke Japan’s obscenity laws.
Reports state that she could face up to two years in jail, or have to pay a fine of US$24,500, if convicted.
She defends herself, saying, “I wanted to make pussy more casual and pop. That’s how I came to make a pussy lampshade, a remote-controlled pussy car, a pussy accessory, a pussy smartphone case, and so on. However, molding by hand has its limitations.”
“It’s not suitable for making large art pieces such as a pussy doors, a pussy car, or a pussy boat. I was wondering how I can make it possible, and then I finally found that a 3-D printer can make it happen easily!”
“Pussy has been such a taboo in Japanese society,” she says. “Penises, on the other hand, have been used in illustrations and signed as a part of pop culture. But pussy has never been so cute.”

She makes a strong point on the double standard when the Kanamara Matsuri “Festival of the Steel Phallus” is widely accepted: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanamara_Matsuri.
