Matsuri (祭) is the Japanese word for a festival or holiday. In Japan, festivals are usually sponsored by a local shrine or temple, though they can be secular. There are countless local festivals (matsuri) in Japan because almost every shrine celebrates one of its own. Most festivals are held annually and celebrate the shrine’s deity or a seasonal or historical event. Some festival are held over several days.

Japan Anime Character Cosplay Photos

Aug 5, 2009 Author: admin | Filed under: Japan Cosplay

Japan is famous for its manga, anime and games characters. A lot of japan mangas now are really popular all over the world. Who don’t know Naruto, Death Note, Bleach, Soul Eater, One Piece, or Games such as Final Fantasy, Devil May Cry, until some old manga characters like Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, Saint Seiya, Kamen Rider Series, Gundam, etc.

However, Japanese is such a creative and full of ideas peoples. They will imitate their manga or anime idols by wearing their costumes and accessories, to feel and act just their hero. Gradually becoming a signature style for the very fashion-conscious Japanese teens, Anime also launched a new craze in the hairstyle domain, just like the famous Harajuku hairstyles, this trend also spreads its ‘animated’ atmosphere all over the world.

The anime fashion is called cosplay. Cosplay fashion has evolved over the past 10 years or so: when I first arrived in Japan over 5 years ago, `gyaru` or `yomamba` fashion was still popular- a range of bizarre and fetishized takes on a blank canvas of an ultra-dark tan, bleached hair, and intense black and white face-paint, as popularized by J-pop idol Namie Amuro in the 90`s. This style evolved through chic, gothic lolita, hawaiian, and many other permutations. Some of them looked elaborately beautiful, like the voodoo `Calypso` from Pirates of the Caribbean, while others were just the opposite, bordering on the disturbing.

Besides Cosplay, there are still some style that evolved very well in japanese teens nowadays such as Harajuku Style, Gothic Lolita, Visual Kei, Kawaii, Decora.

Here are some photos of japanese men or girls in cosplay fashion. They are like a real hero from their idol character.
