ろくでなし子 / ROKUDENASHIKO
Q : Can you introduce yourself ?
A : I am a feminist, a cartoonist, and an artist. My art name is Rokudenashiko. I create arts using my Manko( Japanese slang for ‘Vagina’) as a motif. I made some molds in the shape of my Manko and decorated them in a sweet and glittering way. I also put some diorama dolls on them. I made a kayak measuring about 2 meters based on a 3D scan of my Manko.
Recently, I have been 3d modeling and making toys using my 3D Manko data.
Q : Why are you interested in the vagina?
A : At first I had been drawing cartoons about the story of my sexual experiences. One day, I noticed that there are many cartoonists who draw their sexual experiences but no woman in Japan who drew the topic of their sexual organs(Manko). So I decided to be the first Manko cartoonist. Though I found some feminist artworks using Manko as a motif, they looked sad, gloomy, and severe because they seemed to want to convey the idea that being woman is painful.
Q : What is the political message?
A : It was just an idea and did not have any political massage at that time. So I call myself ‘ Rokudenashiko’ ( Rokudenashi means ‘talk nonsense’ or ‘ completely useless person’).
Q : Why is it important?
A : I felt very weird when I got huge online slander by the people who saw the photos of my Manko art decorated glitteringly or with diorama dolls. Those art works looked very funny, but many people thought them obscene because they were made from my Manko. They did not properly consider the meaning of my work but were scared and angry with the concept of Manko. Then I suddenly noticed that people, especially women, were strictly culturally prohibited from saying ‘ Manko’ in public despite there being no reason or legal penalty in Japan. However, If women can not say the name of our sexual organs, it is difficult for us to talk about our sex problems, venereal disease, birth control, asking their partners to wear a condom etc…. It is ridiculous!!!
Q : Why do we celebrate penis and not vagina in Japan?
A : In ancient Japan people respected the human body, sex and sexual organs because these symbolized the birth of life, harvest, and fertility. Even today, there is a famous festival in which people carry a big penis object which symbolized harvest on their shoulder in Kawasaki. However, so- called obscenity has been severely cracked down upon the Meiji period during which the government has opened the country to the world and adapted to Western culture influenced by Christianity, think that sexual desire, obscenity, pornography, and so on are bad and shameful in general. Not only sexual violence is forbidden, but also showing the naked body and sexual organs in public. And among those people consider the vagina to be the most obscene.
Q ; Why is female sex considered obscene?
A : In the histories of almost all countries, men have dominated women. Women did not have the rights of initiative and freedom.
Q : Are Japanese women ashamed of their sexuality ? Why?
A : Most Japanese women have been brainwashed by their parents since they were children to think that their body, especially their vagina, is obscene. Boys are allowed to talk about the penis easily, even in public, but girls are not allowed. Parents forbid their daughter to talk about and touch her vagina without giving reason. I think it leads women to think that our sexual organs are shameful and dirty.
Q : Why isn’t your art appreciated?
A : Because my art uses the vagina as a motif, people who are prejudiced against sexual expression may dislike and be offended by my art even if they are art critics or professors. Moreover, some feminists and sociologists hate my art because the images are funny and laughable, not authoritative at all. They think that feminism art should convey the idea that being a woman is painful.
Q : Why have you been arrested?
A : I started a crowdfunding campaign when I made a kayak measuring about 2 meters based on a 3D scan of my Manko. Then I sent my 3D Manko data via online storage services to the patrons as a reward( for funding me). It came to the police’s attention and I was arrested twice for obscenity in 2014. The first time I was released from jail 7days later. I drew a cartoon about my experience of being arrested and in my illustrations and story I teased the police so they caught me again. Then I was prosecuted on the charge of obscenity for making my Manko- decorated arts and sending my 3D Manko data online. The trial lasted several years, and finally in the Supreme Court in July 2021 I was found not guilty for my decorated art – it was judged not obscene – but guilty of sending obscene data. I had to pay a fine of four hundred thousand yen ( 3700 US dollars ).
Q : How did you feel?
A : I got angry and started to fight against the police in earnest because of how ridiculous it was that they arrested me. I asserted the rights of FREE MANKO with all my energy. It was tough for me to be robbed of my freedom for 30 day’s detention. And Why should I be found and have to pay a fine? However, the news of my case spread around the world, and a wonderful musician who lives in Dublin became interested in my story. He became my husband and we were blessed with a lovely son. So now I appreciate the Japanese police who have been like an online dating web site for us and made us happy!

To my supporters and related parties
Today, the Supreme Court ruled on my vagina art case. The result was disappointing: my appeal was rejected. I was found innocent in 2017 regarding the exhibition of my work, but I was convinced that the rest of the charges, for distribution of data, would also be transformed to “Innocent”. So, I do not agree with the result.
This all began because I wondered “Why are female genitalia considered obscene and taboo?”, and in order to overturn its image, have been making cute, funny works. During my trial I argued: “The female genitals that are part of my body should not be judged obscene.” I have challenged the police and the judiciary who tried to deprive me of the freedom to express things with my body as a motif.
However the Supreme Court seems unable to escape from the old-fashioned value standard of “obscenity because it is a female genitalia”.
It is a strange thing that 3D data of my body is considered obscene while the deco-man, an art made from my body is not. Although in advanced Western countries, regardless of gender, there is almost no arrest or detention for artistic expressions that use his/her genital as a motif, I think it is a very anachronistic judgment in 2020. I am sorry that the cooperation and efforts of the lawyers and supporters who have helped me so far have not been fully realized.
However, I still dare to call this judgment a “historical judgment.”
It is extremely rare for the Supreme Court to rule on Article 175 of the Penal Code. In such a situation, although all my charges have not been acquitted, the appeals court confirmed that the deco-man’s work exhibition was acquitted. Therefore my case should remain in the history of obscene trials in Japan.
Often the person who has been subject to arrest and trial may be defeated afterwards. However I am full of freshness and motivation to create. Before I was arrested twice in 2014, I was leading kind of a halfway life, but due to severe police interrogation in prison, my spirit and patience were greatly and paradoxically improved, and I realized the importance of freedom of expression. I was blessed with a good husband and child as a result of the coverage of my arrest spreading overseas.
When I made this experience into a cartoon “What is Obscenity? The Story of a Good for Nothing Artist and Her Pussy?”, English, French, and Spanish translations were published. So I was able to show my works to the world. In addition, the Swiss director’s documentary film “#Female Pleasure”, which selected me as one of the “Five Women in the World” and documented my activities, won the Premio Zonta Club Locarno at the Locarno Film Festival 2018 and has been shown in many countries.
When I made a 3D printed vagina kayak, I myself didn’t have that skill and needed help. I wanted to master it, so I started studying and as a result, I was able to acquire the skills of 3D technology before the age of 50. My new works will be on display until July 22 at “BURST Generation: Death and SEX” exhibition, which is being held at Shinjuku Ophthalmologist（Ganka） Gallery, so please come visit.
Although it was a misdemeanor only punishable by a fine, I was unreasonably detained in jail for a long time, so at first I had a grudge against the police. But I am thankfult o them now for giving me an experience that I would not have had if I were living a normal life. The reason I started to create my vagina art seriously was that I received a large amount of slanders and bashings on a certain internet bulletin board. I have found that I really like to resist the unreasonable pressure of powers, organizations and groups that try to hold people down. Doing this has become my life work.
So I will continue to work creatively and announce new works. Furthermore, in the process leading up to the Supreme Court’s decision, a lot of happiness came in. In that sense as well, I feel proud that this judgment is a “historical judgment.”
Therefore, as a small thank-you to all the supporters, I created 3D Manko-chan data. You can enjoy it by downloading from the following URL. Please accept my gift.

支援者ならびに関係者の皆様
本日、わたしの女性器アート事件の最高裁の判決がおりました。結果は、わたしの上告棄却という、残念なものとなりました。控訴審の東京高等裁判所にて、作品展示に関しては無罪判決が確定していたものの、残りの罪状についても、当然、無罪であると信じておりましたので、納得がいきません。
わたしは、「女性器はなぜ、卑猥なものとされ、タブーとされるのか？」と疑問を持ち、そんな女性器のイメージを覆すべく、かわいく、面白く、笑えるような作品作りをして参りました。そして、裁判では「わたしの体の一部である女性器は、当然にわいせつであると判定されるべきではない」と主張し、わたしの体をモチーフにした物をわたし自身が表現する自由を奪う警察や司法に対し、異議を申し立てて来ました。しかし、最高裁は、結局「女性器だからわいせつ」という、従来の古臭い価値基準から全く抜け出せなかった様です。
わたしは、単に「女性器の3Dデータをやみくもに頒布したい」のではなく、プロジェクトアートの一環として頒布したのであり、全体を通してわいせつ性があるかどうかを判断して欲しいと願いましたが、それすらも叶いませんでした。
わたしの体を元にして作ったアート（デコまん）は無罪でありながら、わたしのこの体（3Dデータ）がわいせつとされるのは、なんとも奇妙な話ですし、先進欧米諸国では、男女問わず、性器をモチーフにしたアート表現で逮捕勾留されることなど殆どないのに、２０２０年にもなって、非常に時代錯誤な判決だと思います。ここまで支えて下さった弁護団の先生方や支援者の皆様のご協力や努力が、完全には実らなかった事に、申し訳なさで一杯です。
しかしながら、わたしは、敢えてこの判決を「歴史的判決」であると申します。
刑法１７５条について最高裁で判決が出る事例は非常に珍しい事で、そんな中、全てについて、無罪は勝ち取れなかったものの、控訴審では、デコまん作品展示について無罪が確定しましたので、わたしの事件は日本のわいせつ裁判の歴史に必ず残る事でしょう。
また、普通なら、逮捕された人はその後の活動も萎縮してしまうものかもしれませんが、わたしは今、初心に返った様な清々しさと創作意欲でみなぎっております。２０１４年の二度の逮捕以前はどこか中途半端に生きて来たわたしでしたが、塀の中での厳しい警察の尋問によって精神や忍耐力が大いに鍛えられ、表現の自由の大切さも身をもって実感することができました。逮捕の報道が海外に及んだ事で、良き伴侶や子宝にも恵まれました。
この体験を「ワイセツって何ですか？」という漫画にしたところ、英語訳、フランス語訳、スペイン語訳本が出版され、世界に作品を発表する事ができました。さらに、「世界の闘う５人の女性」の一人として、わたしの活動を取り上げた、スイス人監督によるドキュメンタリー映画「Female Pleasure」は、ロカルノ映画祭でThe Premio Zonta Club Locarno 2018 を受賞しました。
3Dデータで女性器のボートを作った際は、わたし自身にはその技術がなかったものの、せっかくだからマスターしたいと思って勉強を初め、５０歳を前にして、3D技術のスキルを身につけることも出来ました。その新作は、新宿眼科画廊というギャラリーで開催中の「バーストジェネレーション：死とSEX展」にて７月２２日まで展示予定ですので、よろしければ遊びにいらしてください。
警察には、本来なら罰金刑で済むはずの軽罪なのに、不当に身柄を長期勾留された為、当初は恨む気持ちもありましたが、普通に生きていたら滅多にできない経験をわたしに与えてくれたという意味で、今は感謝しております。わたしがこのアートを真剣に始めたきっかけも、誹謗中傷やバッシングを某インターネット掲示板で大量に受けたからなのですが、仮に無罪になれば、嬉しい反面、わたしが闘うものが全くなくなってしまいます。わたしは、個人を押さえつける権力や組織や集団の圧力の理不尽さに、作品を通して抗う事が、本当に好きなのだと思います。もはやライフワークなのです。
そんな訳で、わたしは活動を自粛することなく、今後も新作発表など創作活動にますます勤しむ所存ですし、今回の判決に至る過程において、幸せな事が沢山舞い込みました為、そういう意味でも、わたしにとって今回の判決は「歴史的判決」であると自負いたします。
つきましては、支援者の皆様へのささやかなお礼として、3Dまんこちゃんデータを制作しました。下記URLからダウンロードしてお楽しみいただく事ができます。どうぞご笑納ください。
