We seem to be going overboard with cosplay these days, but we took students to a cosplay event last weekend. This was run by the company \u697d\u88c5<\/a> (Rakushou) – a Japanese pun name! The word \u697d\u52dd (also rakushou) means “easy victory”, used to signify that something will be easy to do. But they changed the second kanji from \u52dd (“shou”, win) to \u88c5 (“shou”, clothes) – quite clever!
$\"Cosplay\"$ <\/p>\n

Yesterday’s event was held at the international ferry terminal – a strange place for cosplay, but most likely chosen for its big outdoor balcony, with great views of the bay. They hold events at a variety of places, including a traditional Japanese town nearby, and even in Central Park, on the 18th of July! <\/p>\n

There’s also one other company doing cosplay events around Fukuoka, with a slightly different theme – \u30b3\u30b9\u30d7\u30ec\u30d4\u30c3\u30af\u30cb\u30c3\u30af (Cosplay Picnic) runs outdoor cosplay events at parks and other outdoor areas. We stumbled onto one of their events last month at Uminonakamichi park<\/a> – it was amazing to see so many cosplayers spread out around the massive park, and really felt like we had stumbled into a different world!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
