Yet More Round Windows

My previous posts of circular windows in Japan seem toi have been quite popular, so here are some more. This first one is in a garden fence at Garyu Villa in Ozu, Ehime.

This one is at the small local history museum on the island of Okunoshima in Hiroshima Prefecture.

Encho-en, a huge Chinese garden up in Tottori has many round windows....

This one is from a park shelter in Sakaiminato, also in Tottori.

This one is in Taishaku Gorge in Hiroshima...

An office building in Matsuyama, Ehime.

Cosplay

Well, this is something you probably thought you would never see on this blog, and it is something that surprises me too. Cosplay!

Last week I went up to Enchoen, a huge Chinese garden in Tottori, and when I walked in I was surprised to see lots of kids dressed up in cosplay. Apparently I had stumbled in to the 11th Annual Pan-Asian Cosplay Competition.

There were kids from China, Taiwan, Korea, Thailand, and of course Japan. They all had tons of high-end camera equipment and spent their time posing and shooting....

I dont read manga nor watch anime, so I have absolutely no idea who any of these characters are...
