Why is Asian Porn censored and blurred?

Why does asian porn blur out the genitals?

What is the reason? Japan, which is one of the biggest markets for pornographic content in the world, compel filmmakers to limit their movies?

Porn was first severely restricted in Japan during the Meiji Era, when materials considered to be " injurious to public morals" were prohibited. After Japan's defeat during WW2, American occupation authorities modified many laws in Japan to ensure freedom of expression and speech. Unfortunately, the authorities of the occupation determined that the existing law on pornography did not need to be altered. It's been in force until today.

In the 60 years following World War II saw the acceptance of pornography that was uncensored as a form of freedom of expression within the West, Japan continued to think the practice " injurious to public morals." One is still unable to legally purchase films that feature fully visible intense action.

In recent times it seems it is the case that "injurious to public morals" has been loosened. 10 years ago the pubic hair was not censored; It is no longer. The year before in Kinsey, the American movie Kinsey could be shown in Japanese theaters without censorship. The scene where Kinsey is Dr. Kinsey is giving a slideshow of penis/vagina pictures is a first time a human genitals that were approved by censors.

Do you think we'll see uncensored porn in the near future? Most likely not, the display of genitalia in an academic setting can be a distance from pure porno. The majority of porn users in Japan can't legally purchase unedited or unfiltered porn.

It is uncensored Japanese porn is this because:

Censorship alone is enough to disorient most Americans towards Japanese porn. They're so used to viewing hardcore penetration photos and the reality that they are unable to really see the genitals makes the porn unwatchable to them. This is a shame since Japanese porn is usually better than American adult content. Japanese porn isn't focused on the shot of penetration and instead uses a variety of styles of direction to create a sexy scene. Without censorship, many Japanese directors are just as slow than their American counterparts who are reliant on close-ups to show penetration. I think the majority of Japan's quirky and original porn is a reaction to censorship.

If the laws and methods to limit obscenity are as strong, there's no reason to be offended by nipples in porn, don't you think? It's not so but not exactly. Although we're certain that #FreeTheNipple hasn't completely been able to take over Japanese porn into a whole but the country itself has had a fascinating connection with the breasts. The reason they're not regarded as a forbidden an item in an intimate box for women could be found in studying the origins in Japanese porn.

In shunga, it is not apparent that there is a significant difference in the breasts of women and men who appear in the pictures The only distinction between them is their clothing or their genitals. Contrary to modern standards of beauty that favor big breasts, the preserved prints of shunga prove that the Japanese did not really have a tendency to eroticize their the bods. Although it was a matter of the class of women, it was not unusual to see Japanese women to wear a topless.

Shunga typically depicts people dressed in a sexy manner, with their sexual parts visible through the robes that are that are partially ripped off. The clothes were used as markers of social class and gender and could also serve as an evidence of the lack of surprise about nakedness in the 17th or 18th century Japan where it was not unusual to find the opposite gender naked at baths in communal facilities.
