He was arrested for posting obscene pictures to the internet. He wasn't flashing in public, unless he had an audience in the restroom.

Obscenity laws are vague in nature and subject to interpretation, so you are never going to win if you are accused of it.

Though I agree with most of the comments that this shouldn't be illegal if on the internet, I at least hope that there was an age wall or something.

I was reading the article thinking "Well this really doesn't seem that big of a deal... why was he arrested?" then I read the 3rd paragraph and was all like "Ohhhhhh, now that makes more sense."

"Obscenity" is a misnomer because in Japan it is de-facto uncensored genitalia (and only that) and is the same reason why:

Voice and stage actor Norio Imamura was also arrested in 2010 for similar charges. He allegedly posted images of his lower half to show fans that he had finished tattooing his entire body.

I'm more concerned for the kids in his school. This is just the tip of the iceberg IMO.
