Tokyo art show, photo book celebrates sexy cosplay

We’re heading out later today to catch an art show. I know, very sophisticated, right? Well, this ain’t some nansy pansy abstract malarkey. This is cosplay!

At pixiv Zingaro in Nakano, west Tokyo, from February 16th to 27th COSPLAY SHOWCASE will feature ten large prints of sexy cosplayers, selections from the photo book by Nobutsugu Sugiyama, which went on sale at the end of last month.

The book is based on an iPad and iPhone app where 120 cosplayers were dressed up in their finest, and then photographed with revolving technology — so the final image can rotate. They called it 2.5D!
