Picking my jaw up off the floor… Child pornography legal in Japan?

Scott Hansen from the US Embassy in Tokyo writes-

…No government is praiseworthy in its fight against trafficking in persons without strong policies suppressing child pornography. The fact that it is legal to purchase and possess child pornography in Japan contributes to the global demand for production of these images, which often depict the brutal sexual assault of children, the very worst form of human trafficking.
