Cosplay in America by Ejen Chuang

It’s one thing to be a fan of cosplay, where you sew and wear elaborate costumes of your favorite anime or video game commercial, but it’s another thing when you turn it into an art form. Better yet, it’s a cultural phenomenon that has grown in popularity over the past decades, and not just within the Asian American community.

That’s why we’re impressed with Ejen Chuang’s book, Cosplay in America ($40), a slick hardcover book of photographs that pays tribute to cosplayers from six anime conventions across the country.

For more information about the author/photographer or to find out where else you can purchase the book, check out the official site, Cosplay in America.

About Moye

I am a Japanese-American girl who was born, raised and is most probably stuck in traffic right this second in Los Angeles. I'm currently one of the co-editors of 8Asians and like to distract myself with good food, reading long books, playing video games, catching up on celebrity news, choosing my new new haircut and then writing all about it on Hello Moye and sometimes here on Twitter if I can get it in under 140 words or less. You can reach me at moye[at]8asians.com.
