censored
When parts of the image (typically graphic or sensitive contents such as sexual organs, gore, or offensive symbolism) were obscured, typically to comply with censorship laws.
On Danbooru, this typically encompasses various Japanese pornographic materials that were censored as a result of the Japanese law. Techniques that prevent viewing sexual parts, usually vaginas, penises and dildos but occasionally nipples. Note that the anus is not usually considered a sexual part in Japanese censorship.
Common forms include mosaics, black bars, mysterious white lights, inverted colors, shaded bars, and the infamous invisible penis. Tentacles or phallic objects are commonly used to resemble genitals and generally don't need to be censored, though the point of intercourse with a vagina does.
For obstructions that are internal to the picture, like a lock of hair that just happens to cover the genitals, use the tag convenient censoring instead of censored.
History
Obscenity in Japan has been illegal to some degree since the 19th century Meiji Era, but the Criminal Code of 1907 relating to obscenity was reinforced (or at least not overturned as other laws restricting freedom were) when American General MacArthur established Japan's modern laws after WW2.
Criminal Code of Japan, Article 175. (Distribution of Obscene Objects)
A person who distributes, sells or displays in public an obscene document, drawing or other objects shall be punished by imprisonment with work for not more than 2 years, a fine of not more than 2,500,000 yen or a petty fine. The same shall apply to a person who possesses the same for the purpose of sale.
Contrary to popular beliefs, Article 175 does not enforce the censorship of pornographic materials. Rather, it is the publisher of these pornographic material who "self-censored" their work as a form of loophole around Article 175, as this technically transformed the work into an "erotic" material by not fully showing the genitalia, which results into less restrictions from the law. This practice was first done by the Japanese pornographic aka the "Adult Video" (AV) industry in 1970s and has spread to other mediums.
Note that the law relates to distribution within Japan; it is not illegal for Japan-made porn intended only for export to be uncensored.
Obscenity laws are gradually being relaxed, but not eliminated. Pubic hair is no longer required to be censored, for example. There are now attempts to repeal the Meiji-era/post-WW2 censorship law, though this has yet to reach deliberation.

在 Danbooru 上，这通常包括因日本法律而受到审查的各种日本色情材料。防止看到性器官的技术，通常是阴道、阴茎和假阳具，但偶尔也包括乳头。请注意，在日本审查制度中，肛门通常不被视为性器官。
常见的形式包括马赛克、黑条、神秘的白光、倒色、阴影条和臭名昭著的隐形阴茎。触手或阴茎物体通常被用来模仿生殖器，通常不需要经过审查，尽管与阴道的性交点需要经过审查。
对于图片内部的障碍物，例如恰好覆盖生殖器的一绺头发，请使用“方便审查”标签而不是“审查”。
自 19 世纪明治时代以来，淫秽在日本在某种程度上一直是非法的，但当美国麦克阿瑟将军在二战后制定日本现代法律时，与淫秽相关的 1907 年刑法得到了加强（或至少没有像其他限制自由的法律那样被推翻） 。
分发、出售或公开展示淫秽文件、图画或其他物品的人将被处以2年以下有期徒刑、250万日元以下罚款或小额罚金。以出售为目的而持有该物品的人，亦同。
与普遍看法相反，第 175 条并未强制执行对色情材料的审查。相反，这些色情材料的出版商对其作品进行了“自我审查”，以此作为第 175 条漏洞的一种形式，因为这在技术上将作品通过不完全展示生殖器而转变为“色情”材料，从而导致较少的法律的限制。这种做法最早是由 20 世纪 70 年代的日本色情业（又名“成人视频”（AV））行业实施的，并已传播到其他媒体。
请注意，该法律涉及日本境内的发行；对于仅用于出口的日本制作的色情片未经审查并不违法。
淫秽法律正在逐渐放松，但并未消除。例如，阴毛不再需要进行审查。现在有人试图废除明治时代/二战后的审查法，尽管这尚未经过审议。
