What is Japan for you?

A country that is full of a culture I admire. Lots of creative people have come from Japan and it is the birthplace of my favourite franchise. It seems like a place with a mix of my two favourite feelings, modern cities and rural countrysides. I would love to explore everything Japan has to offer.

Self introduction

I've always loved creating and cosplay was a perfect avenue for me. It coupled sewing with performance which was wonderful for me. I've been a lover of films and games my entire life and am currently studying film making in university.
