Japan has lots of spirits. Perfect for Halloween. Great photo. I showed my Granddaughter in Japan Trick or Treating on today's post. But they are little ones and very cute.
I do think saying 'Happy Halloween' is a little weird. But great costumes! And isn't it fascinating that a tradition that dates back centuries, probably in Western Europe (certainly for the Christian element), has been re-packaged and exported so far and wide.
Hello, Jenny! The costume of something scary which started in America seems to have combined with Japanese “cosplay” popular culture. No trick-or-treating as you know in Japan, as you might know. Hope you enjoyed Guy Hawkes Night as well as Halloween.
It surprises me how Halloween has become so popular for adults now. It used to be for kids for dress up and to "trick or treat". I like this photo from Japan, thanks for sharing it.
Haha! That's awesome. I didn't realize Halloween was all that big internationally (particularly since it was born from Samhain, an Irish holiday that came to the US)
Classy AND classic!
ReplyDeleteJust goes to show there are vampires everywhere
ReplyDeleteThe world is a scary place, Halloween or not. The trio look great.
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween!

ReplyDeleteYes, a fun picture. Happy Halloween to you.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like they were having a good time. Happy Halloween!
ReplyDeleteThey look great, but not very scary - love the gents fangs.
ReplyDeleteGreat pic Jenny. What fun to see Halloween interpreted in a different way.
ReplyDeleteSo funny! Happy Halloween!! :)
ReplyDeleteNo one came a-knocking on my door...so I ate all the lollies...still eating all the lollies! :)

ReplyDeleteThe whole area was silent here, no fireworks, nothing. I wonder if everyone is waiting to celebrate Halloween at the weekend.
ReplyDeleteLove the pic - what classy attire! Hope you enjoyed Halloween.

I had no idea that Halloween is celebrated in Japan. The costumes look much neater and more fancy than most of the American ones.
ReplyDeleteHalloween is on its way to become an international holiday!
ReplyDeleteI love this photo! So gladyou shared it!

They don't seem to have much to do with Halloween, apart from the fangs and the horns. But I love the kimonos!
