Shimane ,Japan ;
A replica of Michelangelo’s Renaissance sculpture David that was put up last summer is unnerving residents of a Japanese town, with some calling for the naked masterpiece to be given underpants.

Good one Simbi.

I find it somewhat bizarre that an internationaly recognized historical, replica sculpture , is suggested in Japan to be modified to hide the "private parts"

This is appreciative ART, not porno.

What about a fig leaf, a big one.

This - coming from a country that has a penis/fertility festival.  I would post a link but the mods would probably block it.
Just Google "Japan Penis Festival".

For some unknown reason Bukakke comes to mind after reading this story.

That particular David is uncircumcised and markedly under-endowed considering the Italian models Michelangelo would have used.  Odd for the king of Judea.

I recall being, not shocked exactly but surprised, at seeing a billboard in Amsterdam of a frontally nude man and woman, several times life-size.

The Japanese bathe in public baths nude anyway and I never noticed any embarrassment.
