More Flavor: Party Target First Saturday presents Japanimated! Arts and Cultures of Japan feat. DJ Muro

  • Firstsaturday_large

Cosplay has gone mainstream, judging by this week's Target First Saturday. To kick off the Takashi Murakami exhibit, the Brooklyn Museum is throwing a Japanese-themed party complete with taiko drumming, screenings of two anime classics and a documentary about an ex-geisha, and a gallery talk about the museum's collection of Utagawa prints. The party gets louder later in the evening with performances by two local bands of Japanese origin, and a hip-hop, funk, and soul set by Japan's DJ Muro. The kicker, though, is the costume contest — come dressed as your favorite anime or manga character for a chance to win a copy of the © MURAKAMI catalogue.
