Cosplay competion: a Japanese cosplayer in costume and with sword strikes a pose

---

People dress up as characters from Japanese manga and cosplay in a stage competition at the Japan Matsuri and Expo, Sydney, held at Tumbalong Park, Sydney. This was held to showcase Japanese culture, especially modern aspects that are of interest to young people. Minor digital alteration: a small amount of distracting dirt on the background has been removed. For an un-retouched version, see EH8401.
