Halloween may be a foreign import, but the Japanese city of Kawasaki has thoroughly embraced this Christianized Celtic harvest festival
JAPANESE STREETS visited the Kawasaki Halloween Parade again, the 19th since the event was started. We last photographed Kawasaki Halloween in 2013. Today, some 120,000 people watched and applauded 2500 participants who had outdone themselves in creating the coolest Halloween costume.
About the AuthorInspired by the stunningly creative street fashion that exploded on the streets of Tokyo and Osaka in the late 1990’s, photo-journalist Kjeld Duits launched JAPANESE STREETS in 2002. This makes JS one of the first fashion blogs on the net, and the very first to cover Japanese street fashion.
