Anime freakazoids swarm in Japan for cosplay
International Cosplay Summit
–Anime fans mass in Japan for cosplay fest–
Reuters, Wed Aug 1, 2007, TOKYO - Women in breastplates, men with swords, and blond vampires paced the staid halls of Japan’s Foreign Ministry on Wednesday….gathering for an international Cosplay Summit, part of Tokyo’s efforts to raise its world profile and promote a “Cool Japan”…
Oh noooo! This weekend is the World Cosplay Summit and I haven’t a thing to wear.
Wait, wait. I don’t need anything. I can wear a fundoshi [ふんどし], a traditional Japanese loincloth from JLIST, our sponsor. :-)
Now there’s a very traditional cosplay costume that’s sure to get attention.
The fundoshi/loincloth, has a special place in Japan’s history and traditions, and even today is still used worn during festivals. I heard that’s it’s considered sexy when worn by women, hee, hee.
To put onfundoshi, drape the cloth part behind your back, so that it falls between your legs, and pull the straps around you and tie in the front. Pull the cloth between your legs from behind to the front and pull over the tie and let it all hang out.
Are you brave enough to wear to wear one?
Buy it now from JLIST.
For more information about the World Cosplay Summit see their official website in English.
