At around 5:45 p.m. on June 8, a security guard at a video rental shop in Fujimino, Saitama Prefecture peered around a shelf of titles to find a man with his pants down and masturbating in front of a female customer.
The exhibitionist, Shuko Araizumi, a 39-year-old assistant priest from the Tofuku-ji temple, located in Tokorozawa, was booked the next day by the Saitama Prefectural Police on public indecency charges.
Araizumi is the son of the chief priest of Tofuku-ji, a branch temple from within the Japanese Shingon Buddhist sect. With this not being his first lewd incident, Shukan Jitsuwa (July 11) reports that the patience of the local citizenry is wearing thin.
