I love kimonos, I love Japanese characters and I also love japanese history, so this was just the perfect anime/game for me! This cosplay was actually rather easy to make as I already owned several pieces from previous cosplays.
How I made Yasusada Yamatonokami Cosplay
As I said, I already owned many pieces for this character. I always store all my cosplays and there are some parts that can be interchanged.
My shinsengumi haori (japanese jacket) was from my Sakura Saber cosplay.
I did make the armour chest piece for this character in an afternoon. It is all foam and it is painted with acrylic paints. I also made the pompom using yarn.
Wearing Yasusada
I wore this cosplay with my friend Haru-kun dressed as
Kashuu Kiyomitsu. He really liked the character at the time and I decided to join him when the anime first aired.
Fun Fact 1: although I had the hakama (pants) from another character my friend forgot to bring it to the convention, that’s why you will never see a full picture of this character.
Fun Fact 2: The haori or jacket that I am wearing is from another cosplay. I used the same fabric for 2 more cosplays appart from Yasusada and Saber.
Fun Fact 3: I made a ponytail clip for Haru-kun cosplay, he lost it within 10 minutes of handing it to him, that’s why it doesn’t appear in the photos.
