Japanese Popular Culture Festival main event
September 12-13, 2013 Thursday-Friday
“In pursuing a ‘way,’ Japanese typically move beyond an interest in craftsmanship to a kind of sacred search for the ultimate.” ― Morinosuke Kawaguchi
Cosplay, short for "costume play", is an activity in which participants wear costumes and accessories to represent a specific character or idea from a work of fiction. Cosplayers often interact to create a subculture centered on role play.
In cooperation with the Ministry of Youth Affairs and the Japanese Embassy, Japanese Pop Culture Festival held at the National Library of Kuwait on September 12 - 13 starting from 6PM. The Festival includes various events, among them was the cosplay contest. Free admission to all!
