BEST SORA COSPLAY 

@ HATSUME 2017

[dismemberedhat]

Loki was a blast to cosplay as. I went to Hatsume Fair and I met so many new people and so many new friends. I didn't think I would debut Loki because I haven't finished the Odin cosplay I have been working on for my dad. It was too bright out to get a good picture of the Casket glowing but it actually does glow blue and I can control that. I'm glad I got this cosplay done before Ragnarok came out! I've been wanting to do this specific cosplay since 2012. It's from the scene where Loki finds out his true heritage as a Jotun. I will be bringing this cosplay to Megacon 2017 for the costume contest. Side note: My favorite picture of this bunch would have been the very last one if my damn orange admissions band wasn't sticking out like a sore thumb 😭

Morikami’s Hatsume Fair

If you travel down to Delray Beach, FL on April 21 to April 22 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens hold an annual Hatsume Fair to celebrate the coming of Spring. People gather around to wander the gardens as various vendors and activity tents are set up which showcase Japanese traditional and pop culture. The museum and garden are located at 4000 Morikami Park Rd, Delray Beach, FL 33446. The following pictures were taken during in April 2017.

Guests are invited to dress up in traditional Japanese clothes for the season or in costume from their favorite show, game, or anime. The latter is called cosplay. This practice is very common in Japanese pop culture which is why some vendors offer paraphernalia from different shows and cartoons.

The two above are in kimonos while the bottom two are cosplaying as popular characters from the anime Gurren Lagaan.

One of the main events that take place during the festival is the taiko drum show. Several people who have been trained in the art of performing and playing the traditional percussion instrument. The sound of the group beating on the drum can be heard throughout the garden and many come to the tent to witness this show.

The show includes a segment where two members of the band dance and handle flaming batons. These professionals wow the crowd with their skill as they hold their breath as the fire dances between their fingers. These two have trained in Japan to perform these stunts.

When there are no shows going on, many people wander throughout the gardens on concrete paths underneath grown and sculpted wooden arches, bonsai exhibits, around the lake, and into the many zen houses which feature aspects of modern and traditional Japanese culture.

Until the very end of the event, there are so many things to experience in the Hatsume Festival. This picture is of myself (right), my little brother Jared Cayson (middle), and my friend Karam Atli (left) after our volunteering shift. Most of the event is run with the help of volunteers at the vendors, event tents, and meal houses serve to make the fair a success year after year.
