JAPAN-SOCIETY-CULTURE-CARTOON-OFFBEAT
Caption: This picture taken on November 23, 2012 shows participants taking part in a folk dancing session during a match-making party in Washinomiya, Saitama prefecture, in the northern suburbs of Tokyo. Self-confessed geeks in Japan who might ordinarily be too shy to ask someone on a date are trying a new kind of matchmaking: wearing cartoon character masks.
