Techniques that prevent viewing sexual parts, usually [[pussy|vaginas]], [[penis]]es and [[dildo]]s but occasionally [[nipples]]. Note that the [[anus]] is not usually considered a sexual part in Japanese censorship. Common forms include [[mosaic censoring|mosaics]], [[bar censor|black bars]], mysterious [[light censor|white lights]], inverted colors, shaded bars, and the infamous [[invisible penis]]. [[Tentacles]] or phallic objects are commonly used to resemble genitals and generally don't need to be censored, though the point of intercourse with a vagina does. Consider the usage of the tag [[heavily_censored]] when the censoring is severe. For obstructions that are [i]internal[/i] to the picture, like a lock of [[hair_censor|hair]] that just happens to cover the genitals, use the tag [[convenient censoring]] instead of censored. h4. History Obscenity in Japan has been illegal to some degree since the 19th century Meiji Era, but the Criminal Code of 1907 relating to obscenity was reinforced (or at least not overturned as other laws restricting freedom were) when American General MacArthur established Japan's modern laws after WW2. [quote] [i]Criminal Code of Japan, Article 175. (Distribution of Obscene Objects)[/i] A person who distributes, sells or displays in public an obscene document, drawing or other objects shall be punished by imprisonment with work for not more than 2 years, a fine of not more than 2,500,000 yen or a petty fine. The same shall apply to a person who possesses the same for the purpose of sale. [/quote] Note that the law relates to distribution within Japan; it is not illegal for Japan-made porn intended [b]only[/b] for export to be uncensored. Obscenity laws are gradually being relaxed, but not eliminated. [[Pubic hair]] is no longer required to be censored, for example. There are now attempts to repeal the Meiji-era/post-WW2 censorship law, though this has yet to reach deliberation. h4. Types of censorship * [[bar censor]] * [[blank censor]] * [[blur censor]] * [[glitch censor]] * [[heart censor]] * [[light censor]] * [[mosaic censoring]] * [[novelty censor]] ** [[character censor]] * [[text censor]] * [[flower censor]] * [[interface censor]] h6. Non-sexual censorship * [[identity censor]] * [[fake censor]] ** [[censored food]] * [[censored text]] * [[censored gesture]] h4.
