Tokyo Metropolitan Police arrested Igarashi in July 2014 for allegedly emailing crowd-funders of her art project links to a webpage, where they could download 3D data that could be used to create vulva-shaped kayaks based on the shape of her genitals. 
Polisi wa Jiji la Tokyo walimkamata Igarashi mwezi Julai 2014 kwa kudaiwa kuwatuma viungo vya mtandao kwa njia ya barua pepe kwa wafadhili wa mradi wake ili waweze kupakua (download) data zenye taswira halisi ambazo zingeweza kutumika kutengeneza kayak zenye sura ya uke inayotokana na sehemu zake za siri.
