As you might expect, Japan has a lot of cosplay events, but few can match the scale of Osaka’s Nippombashi Street Festa.
However, the event’s organizers have sent out a notice that this year’s Street Festa, which was scheduled to take place on Sunday, March 15, has been cancelled.
Nipppombashi Street Festa regularly draws over 200,000 people to city’s Denden Town neighborhood, but not this year.
Making things especially worrisome is that March is the height of cedar pollen allergy season in Japan.
