Cosplay in Japanese Culture

Cosplay is not little to dressing up in costumes from beloved Tv shows. Cosplay is also seen in primary Japanese culture and fashion.

Coming of age ceremonies have been held in Japan since at least Ad 714, when a young prince got new clothes and a hairstyle to mark their passage into adulthood. The official holiday was first established in 1948, to be held each year on 15 January. In 2000, as a follow of the flourishing system, the Monday on which the Day Of coming of Age was paramount on was changed to the second Monday in January.

Many women celebrate this day with the use of Furisode (a kimono with long sleeves that hang) and zori sandals. Since most are unable to put on a kimono by themselves due to the complexities complex in dressing in one, many select to visit a beauty salon to dress and have their hair done. A complete set of formal clothing is quite expensive, so it is usually taken from a relative or rented rather than bought for the occasion. Men sometimes wear primary costumes (for example a dark kimono with hakama), but in contemporary times many men wear formal western clothes, like a suit and a tie, more often than a primary dress.

The most recent road fashion among Japanese women is the smokey eye look. It is a sultry and sexy look that is easy to accomplish and which creates striking results. The smokey eye look has been called the little black dress of make up as it is always stylish. Smokey eyes are perfect in any place and anytime because the make up needed is not overdone and adds a little bit of difficulty and charm to a woman's look. The smokey eye make up is also beneficial for vampire Cosplay.

Fantasy and science fiction characters have became very beloved Cosplay costumes. Characters from the Star Wars, Star Trek and the Harry Potter series are some of the most beloved non-manga characters to be featured in Cosplay events. Anime cartoons such as Naruto, Bleach and Final Fantasy as well as video and computer games are also beloved characters to be made into Cosplay costumes. Akatsuki And club Xiii costumes as well as the ever beloved ShinRa were the most common costumes at conventions. Outside of conventions, the most beloved Cosplay costumes are school girl outfits and maid uniforms.

Comic books, graphic novels and fantasy movies are also a source of inspiration for Cosplayers.
