Halloween is originally celebrated on the eve of a western Christian feast of the All Saints Day (or All Hallows Day), and is dedicated to remembering the dead. Nowadays, Halloween is celebrated by attending costume parties, Trick-or-Treat, lighting bonfires, carving pumpkins into jack-o-lanterns and so on.
As with all traditions, they evolve as time passes and cross geographical and cultural boundaries, especially when they come to a country like Japan. The Japanese are renowned for their innovation and creativity as they modify gadgets and technology to integrate into their daily lifestyles.
Halloween, too, inevitably had to face the same fate. Presented here are ideas born from Japanese creativity for creating an amazing themed costume for you and your buddies!
