• Specialized tour docent for: "Otaku: From Geek to Chic"

  • Jul 2016 - Present

  Context describes the tours as: "On this 3-hour Akihabara Tour, we will explore Tokyo's hub for otaku, providing an intimate look at one of Japan’s most misunderstood subcultures. Otaku is a term for devoted enthusiasts, most often of manga (comic books) and anime (cartoons): cultural products that are now seen as an inescapable part of life in contemporary Japan. The fandom surrounding manga and anime has become an international phenomenon, with otaku today being associated with “cool” Japan. Together, we'll peel back the layers of Japanese culture, developing a richer understanding of the origins of otaku and placing the phenomenon in the greater context of Japanese society."
