A while back, Japanese illustrator cccpo (whose pen name is read “c-thee-p-o,” like the Star Wars droid) drew a picture of a miko, or Shinto shrine maiden.
As of this writing, the miko swimsuit is just over 50 percent of the way to its goal of 300,000 yen.
It’s a piece of fantasy fashion design, but that’s just the sort of thing creative apparel organization Mocolle specializes in.
Made of a nylon/polyurethane blend, the miko swimsuit is meant as much for cosplay as it is frolicking in the surf, if not more so.
