What is Japan for you?
From a personal perspective, "Japan" is not only a word or a country: it's a state of mind, and it means a lot to me. I fell in love with Japan thanks to my mother, who passed down to me her strong respect and admiration for this country. I grew up with the company of anime and manga, and I’ve always been fascinated by the historical figures of samurai, by their bushido and the power of their will. This kind of strength, their unique composure and the whole Japanese culture really inspires me and influences my life choices. So, to me Japan is really a lifestyle.
Self introduction
Hello, My name is Samuele and I’m from Italy. I consider myself a creative person and I could say I have many interest, from cinema to music and sport. I’m a huge fan of Japanese food, especially sushi, and one of my big passions are videogames. But my true vocation is Cosplay: thanks to this art I was able to enter into a magical word, that allows me to grew up and become the person I am today.
