The template language is confusing. Better to replace with this quote from Commons:Freedom_of_panorama#Japan:
- Japanese copyright law allows the reproduction of artistic works located permanently in open places accessible to the public, such as streets and parks, or at places easily seen by the public, such as the outer walls of buildings, only for non-commercial purposes; therefore, such photographs are not free enough for Commons. --Pete Tillman (talk) 22:14, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
- @Tillman no, it is best to be conservative in not allowing intentional images of copyrighted sculptural monuments of Japan on Wikimedia Commons. The current wording is fine. By changing to your proposal, it would lead to uploaders thinking it is already OK to host images here. The uploaders typically don't understand that they are uploading images under commercial Creative Commons licensing, not compatible with the FoP law of Japan on monuments.

- Nevertheless, I made some tweaks in some wording, with mention of free licensing. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 03:55, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
