As Paris welcomes the Japan Expo, we’re celebrating all things Japanese in the capital, from food to fashion. The Japan Expo is an international festival of traditional and contemporary Japanese culture, from music, dance, art and crafts to manga, anime and video games. The Young Designers Village showcases the latest in fashion inspired by the Far East, with influences ranging from gothic to geisha. There’s always a party atmosphere, and many guests show up dressed as real or animated characters to take part in the World Cosplay Summit. The festival runs from July 1 to 4.
