origin

The original origin of cosplay is generally believed that the birthplace of cosplay is in Japan. Of course, if this is based on the modern concept of cosplay, it can also be said that.

But in a broad sense, the real birthplace of animated cosplay is definitely the United States in the western hemisphere, and even if we really want to discuss the original form of cosplay, cosplay first appeared in the centuries before the first year of AD! Because of the Greek sacrificial costumes that existed around 1000 BC.

Or the group of great minstrels who later co-wrote two great Greek epics, Iliad and Odyssey. They were active in the 8th century BC, but they were actually playing other people's roles.
