Cosplay event in a temple

When you hear ‘temple’ or ‘shrine’, how do you imagine the temple? I think the basic image is like this.

Japan is an exciting country. One of the temples in Japan which is called Ryoho-ji holds Cosplay events in the temple. First surprising thing is their home page. When I opened the website, I thought it must be any Akihabara shops. The truth is that this is a website of the temple.

Home Page: Ryohoji

Cosplayers who join the event can listen to Buddhist sutra with wearing Cosplay costumes. What a funny situation it is!!!

Japan is still exotic and mysterious country. A lot of interesting things happen everyday and everywhere.

Hope many people enjoyed Japan Expo 2013

I am sad that I was unable to join Japan Expo 2013. To be honest, I was supposed to join it, but I got sick and needed to stay at home. I received many emails from exhibitors of Japan Expo which were much more than I received in 2012. Based on those emails, they should have had more visitors than last year. According to UPI.com, there were over 230,000 people.
