TOKYO ---The editorial departments of two weekly tabloids have received warnings from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police over the publication this past summer of "obscene" images of works by British artist Jamie McCartney (@Plastercaster), reports the Sankei Shimbun (Nov. 21).
Shukan Post (Aug. 17-24) and Shukan Gendai (Sep. 15 and 22-29) published color and black-and-white pictures of McCartney's "Great Wall of Vagina," which comprises a series of rows of white plaster figures shaped like female genitalia.
The peace preservation division of the metropolitan police deemed the publication of the display a crime of "obscene public exhibition...The images are exactly that of female genitalia," said the police in a statement. "The degree of obscenity is high."
