...publish porn without the famous mosaic censoring of the genitals, or is it even illegal to POSSESS this kind of material?
Like let's say a Japanese guy buys porn from the US without this kind of cencoring. Is this legal as long as it's just for private "use"?
Also as another example, let's say I come to Japan as a visitor and have some of this in my baggage. If my bag would be checked, would I be arrested for having this material?
I am really interested in knowing this.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you.
Interesting, wouldn't have thought that.
So I will be carefull qhen coming to Japan.
Just one question, like many people I have some of these stuff on my phone (also Fakku Books pdf lol) with uncencored content, but it's not like they are gonna check my phone/computer or anything like that, right?^^

That wiki post doesn't say nothing about owning or having of uncensored porn is illegal in it. But there the english transtion of Article 175 of the Criminal Code of Japan http://www.japaneselawtranslation.go.jp/law/detail/?ft=2&re=02&dn=1&yo=penal+code&x=0&y=0&ky=&page=1
Article 175 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.
Somewhere in another article there a mention that the censorship of porn is a production code and not a legal requirement but then again anyone can make anything up if they want so i have to refer to what is present and clear on my illegal copies of japanese porn.
And no. They won't check your phone or computer unless they have a reason to. They will check if your bag has a computer and see if it a laptop but unless they have just cause they won't turn it on and check the files in it.

Thanks. But in the quote, doesn't it exactly say that it is only illegal to possess when your intention is selling it?

I think they didn't put a comma between possesses and the.
The same shall apply to a person who possesses, the same for the purpose of sale.

The only uncensored porn from Japan is those that are cleaned up with software in the US. But there are not that many, though.

I mean I saw some porn with Japanese actors but without cencors.
So this material is not specifically made for foreign audience, but de-censored later on with some program? Interesting!

No. Just like how fakku version of the new books are censored free... they has masters without the mosaics put in.
Digital files of the scenes to master edited movie to censored master to production disks. I do the same with my commerical and commission photos.
Raw/edited/proof/master/finish product.

I'm quite sure you're adding an unnecessary comma there, as far as I see, the sentence could also be read as "The same shall apply to a person who possesses an obscene document, drawing or other objects for the purpose of sale.", with the longish list replaced by 'the same'.

Should be. The translation of 販売ã®ç›®çš„ã§ã“れらã®ç‰©ã‚’所æŒã—ãŸè€…ã‚‚ã€åŒæ§˜ã¨ã™ã‚‹ã€‚(Hanbai no mokuteki de korera no mono o shoji shita mono mo, dÅyÅ to suru.)
Same shall apply to a person who possesses these things in the sale, as well as the (receiver). Not sure since google is shit. It said the liver so hey i can't say.
Every other links for this said the same exact word to word line has the japanese government translation.
