\"Cosplay\"<\/p>\n

A few weeks ago, we happened to be visiting the nearby Edo period theme park \u80a5\u524d\u5922\u8857\u9053 (Hizen Yume Kaidou) <\/a>on the same day that they held a cosplay event in conjunction with local cosplay company \u697d\u88c5 (Rakushou)<\/a>. It was amazing to see the detail that some of the attendees put into their costumes! We were also surprised that more than 90% of the attendees were female, with only a few men. Local contacts tell us that the reason is that most of the costumes are handmade, and guys don\u2019t often put the required time into making a costume.<\/p>\n

Anyway, we were so enthralled with the event that we decided next time we wanted to take students too. So, last weekend, we took a few Genki Japanese school students to another Rakushou event, this time at Bayside Place, a now-abandoned shopping center by the ferry port. Presumably it was chosen because the destitute atmosphere looks something like a futuristic wasteland. Students took a bunch of photographs, and we\u2019ve uploaded some of the better ones to our gallery here<\/a>. How many of the original manga can you guess? Our student Lionel managed to get about half!<\/p>\n
