As an artist who lives in Japan,  Japan is actually really funky in the way of fanart and doujins.  Big conventions like comike is acceptable to sell such stuff, but when it comes to the title of stance of an artist, it is kinda frowned upon. More over, it is all just for fun.  Most of the stuff that is being sold is at really low prices that the artist themselves dont get much profit. Also, Fanart and doujins are ONLY sold at comike,  never would an artist sell these works outside of these conventions.  I have never seen any fanart and such at art markets and big art events. There doesn't seem to be much in the way of laws against this stuff here,  more that it is common sense not to do it and sell it.
