I made this in about 4 weeks, about 36 hrs total time. Cost About $100 US. I used some traditional japanese Kimono and Hakama patterns. The red kimono had to be modified for the fold in the front as well as the sleves. I created ears and sewed them into the wig.

The con itself was once again heavily disorganized. This may be the last time I attend it, am planning on hitting some of the big cons in Baltimore next year. I was going to enter the cosplay competition, but decided to save that for GenCon in August.

I even pulled out my old Ash costume from 1999. I got alot of positive reactions to both costumes.
