Historical/period works. Authentic reproduction of both Japanese and Western attire is a highlight.
Cosplay from historical/period works features authentic reproduction of both Japanese and Western attire. Choosing locations like shrines, temples, or Western-style mansions is also an important element.
Hakuoki, Touken Ranbu, and Bakuon!! (specific characters) are good for beginners in Japanese attire with many commercially available items.
Rurouni Kenshin, Gintama, and Sengoku Basara are for experts who enjoy creating detailed weapons and decorations like swords and armor.
