1 | Japan's Porn Law is Strangling Artists | Manakenda Ny Artista Ny Lalàna Ao Japana Mikasika Ny Fahavetavetana |
2 | Fashion photographer Leslie Kee, who has worked with pop stars Beyonce and Lady Gaga, was arrested for selling obscene images at his latest exhibition in Roppongi, Tokyo on February 4, 2013. | Nosamborina ilay mpaka sary lamaody antsoina hoe Leslie Kee, izay niara-niasa tamin'ny mpihira fanta-daza maneran-tany Beyonce sy Lady Gaga, noho ny famarotana sary mamoafady tamin'ny fampirantiana nataony farany teo tao Roppongi, Tokyo tamin'ny faha 4 Feboary 2013. |
3 | Under Japanese law, all images of genitalia must be blurred, so Kee's work which featured nudity was effectively breaking the law. | Araky ny lalàna Japoney, ireo sary rehetra mampiseho taovam-pananahana dia tsy azo avoaka avokoa, izany hoe ny sanganasan'i Kee izay mampiseho fiboridanana dia mazava ho azy fa mandika lalàna. |

5 | On February 7, the case was dropped, but his arrest has stirred a debate about artistic expression and Japan's broad porn law. | Tamin'ny faha 7 Febroary, nadaboka ny fitsarana io raharaha io, satria ny fisamborana azy dia niteraka adihevitra be teo amin'ny fahalalahan'ny artista sy ny fivelaran'ny lalàna Japoney mikasika ny sary mamoafady. |
6 | Officially known as Article 175 of Japan's Penal Code, the law prohibits the distribution, sale, or public display of all obscene materials. | Fantatra amin'ny fomba ofisialy amin'ny he Andininy 175 ao amin'ny Fifehezan-dalàna Japoney mikasika ny sazy famaizana, io lalàna io dia mandrara ny fanaparitahana, fivarotana, na ny fanehoana ampahibemaso ny fitaovana rehetra mamoafady. |
7 | Tokyo-based Kee is also known for his homoerotic work. | Kee izay mipetraka ao Tokyo dia fantatra ihany koa amin'ny sanganasany manaitaitra ny filan'ny nofo ho an'ireo ‘homo'. |
8 | Writer and journalist @quitamarco writes on Twitter [ja]: | Nanoratra tao amin'ny Twitter [ja] ilay mpanoratra sady mpanao gazety @quitamarco: |
9 | <please amplify this> I protest the arrest of Leslie Kee. | <mba hamafiso anie ity azafady indrindra e> Manohitra ny fitazonana an'i Leslie Kee aho. |
10 | His artistic expression brought liberation of LGBT. | Nitondra ny fahafahan'i LGBT ny fomba fanehoany ny talentany. |
11 | Degrading his work by calling it “porn” or “obscene” with indelicate lust is illogical and fails to properly value his work. | Ny fanambaniana ny asany amin'ny hiantsoana izany ho “mamoafady” na koa “mahamenatra” ary tsy am-pahamendrehana dia tsy mitombona ka lasa manambany ny lanjan'ny asany. |
12 | Another user @WildcatBooko pointed out [ja] that by arresting Leslie the police intervened in personal expression: | Nanamafy [ja] ilay mpanjifa iray hafa @WildcatBooko fa tamin'ny fisamborana an'i Leslie dia hita fa manembatsembana ny fahafaha-mitenin'ny tsirairay avy ny mpitandro ny filaminana: |
13 | @quitamarco If I may add my comment, I would say this case is serious because Leslie did not sell the “obscene” photo in public. | @quitamarco Raha afaka milaza ny fomba fijeriko aho, dia hitako fa sarotsarotra io toe-draharaha io satria i Leslie dia tsy nivarotra io sary “mamoafady ” io teo imasom-bahoaka. |
14 | He published the photo book at his own expense privately. | Ny volany manokana no nampiasainy hamoahana ny boky misy ny rakitsariny. |
15 | This is a horrifying case to me for it can be considered regulation of expression in the personal domain. | Trangan-javatra mampivarahontsana io ho ahy ary azo lazaina ho fampiharana lalàna mamepetra ny fahalalahan'ny olona tsirairay haneho hevitra. |
16 | Besides Lee's work, an exhibition by leading Japanese contemporary artist Makoto Aida in Tokyo has been met with protest. | Ankoatran'ny sanganasan'i Lee, dia tsy nankatoavina ihany koa ny fampirantiana notarihin'ilay artista Japoney sangany amin'izao fotoana izao antsoina hoe Makoto Aida ao Tokyo. |
17 | His work is known for being erotic and controversial. | Ny ahalalan'ny olona ny asany dia ilay somary manainga ny filan'ny nofo sy ilay miteraka adihevitra lehibe. |
18 | On January 25, 2013, the People Against Pornography and Sexual Violence (PAPS) [ja] published a letter of protest [en] against the Mori Art Museum where the exhibition is taking place: | Tamin'ny 25 Janoary 2013, namoaka taratasy fanoherana iray [en] niantefa tany amin'i Mori Art Museum, ilay toerana hanaovana ny fampirantiana, ireo Vahoaka manohitra ny Fahavetavetana sy ny Herisetra Ara-nofo (PAPS) [ja] : |
19 | These works are child pornography. | Karazana fahavetavetana atao amin'ny zaza ireo sanganasa ireo. |
20 | They are equivalent to child sexual abuse and commercial sexual exploitation. […] | Mitovitovy amin'ny fanararaotana ara-nofo miantefa amin'ny zaza na koa fanararaotana eo amin'ny fanaovana takalo ara-bola ny resaka ara-nofo izany. […] |
21 | the ‘Dog' series treats women and girls as less than human, as sexual playthings and sexual animals. [ | Ilay andian-tantara nampitondraina ny lohateny hoe ‘Alika' dia manambany ny vehivavy sy ny tovovavy ho toy ny tsy olona, ary mampitovy azy ireo amin'ny kilalaon'ny filan'ny nofo sy biby fanaovana firaisana ara-nofo. [ |
22 | …] The exhibition is an example of discrimination and contempt for amputees and other people with disabilities. [ | …] Ohatra iray amin'ny fanavakavahana io fampirantina io ary maniratsira ireo bory ratsam-batana ary ireo olon-kafa manana kilema. [ |
23 | …] | …] |
24 | In its position as a respected public institution, the Mori Art Museum sends a strong message through hosting the current exhibition. | Eo amin'ny toerany amin'ny maha fikambanana manana ny maha izy azy, dia nampita hafatra mafonja ny Mori Art Museum amin'ny alàlan'ny fampiantranoana io fampirantiana amin'izao fotoana io. |
25 | […] The Museum's hosting of the exhibition actively makes discrimination and violence normal, and actively promotes the sexual exploitation of girls, violence against women, and discrimination and contempt for people with a disabilities. | […] Ny fampiantranoan'ny Mozea ilay fampirantiana dia manisika fatratra ny fihetsika manavakavaka sy ny herisetra ho toy ny zava-mahazatra, ary mandrisika be ny fanararaotana ara-nofo ireo tovovavy, ny herisetra miantefa amin'ny vehivavy, ary fanavakavahana sy faniratsirana ireo olona manana kilema. |
26 | A voluntary organization called the Institute of Contents Culture [ja] which studies freedom of expression in Japan made an official statement [ja] about the Makoto Aida exhibition controversy: | Nisy fikambanana mpiasa an-tsitrapo iray antsoina hoe Vondrona miandraikitra ny ara-kolotsaina [ja] izay mandalina ny fahalalaha-mitenin'ny tsirairay ao Japana, nanao fanambarana ofisialy [ja] mikasika ny tsy fitovian-kevitra amin'io resaka fampirantian'i Makoto Aida io: |
27 | We live in a healthy society that guarantees freedom of expression and that is exactly why we can enjoy not only art work but also diverse opinions and expressions. | Miaina ao anaty fiaraha-monina salama isika izay mampanantena ny fisian'ny fahalalaha-miteny ary izay indrindra no ankafizantsika, tsy ny asa maneho talenta fotsiny ihany, fa koa ny fahafahana maneho ny fomba fijerintsika sy ny hevitsika ihany koa. |
28 | The fact that there's criticism against the works of artist Makoto Aida is the very proof that our society is the one where freedom of expression exists and it should be welcomed. | Ny fisian'ny fanakianana ny sanganasan'ilay artista antsoina hoe Makoto Aida dia porofo mivaingana maneho fa ny fiaraha-monintsika ihany no ahitana fahalalaha-miteny ary tokony horaisintsika tsara izany. |
29 | However, the request to remove his work, takes away all opportunities to discuss and to think by seeing his work. | Na izany aza, ilay fangatahana ny hanaisotra ny sanganasany, dia manakana ny vintana rehetra hifanakaloan-dresaka sy hisaintsaina amin'ny fijerena ny sanganasany. |
30 | Freedom of expression must be guaranteed fully unless it violates particular rights of particular people, and by seeing the expression, the rights to discuss and criticize with each person thinking freely must be guaranteed. | Tokony hoarovana feno ny fahafaha-miteny raha tsy hoe mandika ny zo manokana ananan'ny olona iray manokana angaha izany, ary amin'ny fahitàna ilay fomba fiteny, dia tokony hoarovana ny zo hifanakalo hevitra sy hanakiana miaraka amin'ny olona tsirairay misaina amin'ny fomba malalaka. |
31 | As a creator and as a citizen, we object to the request to remove Makoto Aida's art at Mori Art Museum. | Amin'ny maha mpamorona sy maha olon-tsotra antsika, dia tsy manaiky ilay fangatahana hanaisotra ny sanganasan'i Makoto Aida ao amin'ny Mori Art Museum isika. |
32 | Some feel this is not just about freedom of expression. | Mahatsapa ny olona sasany fa tsy mikasika fahafaha-miteny fotsiny ihany io. |
33 | Referring to the cancellation of Ahn Se-Hong‘s photo exhibit about comfort women in May 2012 Korean descendant @rinda0818 commented [ja] : | Amin'ny fanondroana ny fanafoanana ny fampirantiana sarin'i Ahn Se-Hong mikasika ireo vehivavy manao atin'akanjo tamin'ny volana May 2012 dia nanambara [ja] ny taranaka Koreana @rinda0818 hoe : |
34 | The narratives of controversies over exhibition of Aida Makoto and that of Ahn Se-Hong both fall into a category of freedom of expression, but is it really the case? | Ireo fitantaràna ny fisian'ny adihevitra mikasika ny fanehoana fitanjahana nataon'i Aida Makoto sy Ahn Se-Hong dia samy latsaka any anatin'ny sokajin'ny fahafaha-miteny avokoa, fa tena izay tokoa ve no tena izy? |
35 | In a country where [basic] human rights is not protected, freedom of expression can sometimes turn violent. | Ao anatina firenena iray izay tsy voahaja akory ny zon'olombelona [fototra], indraindray mivadika ho herisetra ny fahalalaha-miteny. |
36 | For the former, art works are violence and for the latter, protest against exhibition is violence. | Ho an'ireo voalohany, ny sanganasa maneho talenta dia herisetra, ary ho an'iretsy farany, ny fanoherana ny fampirantana dia herisetra ihany koa. |
37 | I feel something is wrong. | Tsapako ho misy zavatra tsy mety ao. |

40 | Another tweet by user @tatangarani [ja] referred to both cases of Makoto and Leslie and said that Japan's regulations are taking the wrong direction: | Tweet anankiray hafa indray koa avy aminà mpikambana iray @tatangarani [ja] dia mitodika amin'ireo tranga roa mikasika an'i Makoto sy Leslie ireo ary nilaza izy fa diso làlana ny lalàna ao Japana : |
41 | If Makoto Aida and Leslie's art, which were sold at closed venues are being regulated for being offensive and nasty, why are piles of weekly magazines with naked photographs available at convenient stores. | Raha toa ka lazaina fa manohina olona ary marikoriko ny sanganasan'i Makoto Aida sy Leslie izay amidy any aminà toerana mihidy, nahoana ary no hita amidy eny amin'ny trano fivarotana lehibe eny ireo antontam-boky mivoaka isan-kerinandro ahitana sarin'olona miboridana. |
42 | Why is it okay for parents to give computers to children when the parents do not even know what a parental lock is? | Nahoana no azon'ny Ray aman-dReny atao ny manome solosaina ny zanany raha toa ka tsy fantatr'izy ireo akory ny dikan'ny hoe fanalahidin'ny Ray aman-dReny (verrouillage parental)? |
43 | These are fundamental mistakes! | Hadisoana goavana izany rehetra izany! |
