Rokudenashiko, a Japanese artist, has been arrested in relation to a recent art project of hers, a vagina-shaped kayak. Her real name is Megumi Igarashi and she is being held in Tokyo for allegedly sending images of her vagina for money. The case, however, is much more complicated.

Note: This article contains many images of vagina models, molds, and other art. While not that graphic, proceed at your own risk.

Rokudenashiko is an artist who specializes in art of the vagina. The vagina kayak is not her first foray into vagina-related art work, but it is the largest, and now, perhaps her most famous piece. She makes a variety of smaller pieces, like dioramas, iPhone cases, T-shirts, and small sculptures:

Here she is discussing her vagina-art ambitions, and making some dioramas:

9. Oh my! I hate confessing I clicked on this.

But the little golf diorama made me laugh.

For her next project she could scale it up for an x-rated miniature golf course.
