Cosplay girl in Yoyogi Park
Just wanted to pass on a photo taken by Christian Henriquez and shown on the Japan Today website. The picture shows a girl photographed in Yoyogi Park in Tokyo. Apparently, she’s often seen in Yoyogi, Harajuku, Omotesando and similar places around the capital. For some reason I just love this photo and the makeup effect she’s created, from the slight rouge on the far side of her face to the blue tear drop mark going down from her right eye. I will echo someone else’s comment on this photo in that I would love to have seen the rest of her outfit, as it looks like it could be as eccentric and elaborate as the face.
In Japan, she may be described as a cosplay girl. This describes the girls that dress up as characters from anime (animated fantasy) movies or manga comic books. Some of the outfits are absolutely breathtaking and it’s mind-boggling to think how long they took to make. Just saw this photo and wanted to share it with you to show you yet another face of Japan. Let me know what you think.
