I'm glad you asked, I always wanted a chance to tell everyone why I put it there:

The ghost-like thing on her hair is a Teru Teru Bozu, a little traditional hand-made doll made of white paper or cloth that Japanese farmers began hanging outside of their window by a string. This amulet is supposed to have magical powers to bring good weather and to stop or prevent a rainy day. Today, children make teru-teru-bōzu out of tissue paper or cotton and string and hang them from a window to wish for sunny weather, often before a school picnic day. <--I figured this was appropriate for a mascot that celebrates a anime/Japanese culture convention. Glad she's liked. xD

Domo Arigato,


That is so very cool and appropriate for Kumoric-ko to have a Teru teru Bozu.   Neat!

Kind of ironic, being as Kumori means 'cloudy day' or 'rainy day', don't you think?  :wink:

Hmm, that's interesting, but isn't there something a little bit more?

I've seen two different animes in which a love-struck girl would have the "ghost" look like the guy that she had a thing for.  (If anyone cares, the series are Blue Seed & Geobreeders).

So, why that part?

Well I got all that info from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teruterubozu), but I learned about it in Japanese class back in high school, so I don't know about having their boyfriends' face on it.  I saw it in Blue Seed, but I always figured it was some kind of good luck thing or just a face they wanted to draw on it.

Can't please everyone. :wink:  Maybe because she's totally different from the mascots of the past...she's not very traditional, she's pretty out there.  But thanks for the honesty.  I'd love to see other people cosplay her!  :D

Sorry that the chair hasn't been online but she approves of this and we'll see that you do get your name mentioned. What would you like us to use? Chevi? Or your real name?

When Meg Cosplays as next years Mascot you need to find a baby and dress it as the ghoast doll and pin that to her head.  A new born under 5 pounds would be best

Chevi -

Check out the new front page. I think you will be pleased. :) (Scroll down to the bottom of any of our pages.)

I do plan on cosplaying the mascot again. I think the number of people who will be in that outfit is up to 6. I'm commisioning my mom again, as I won't have time to sew it properly.

I was just wondering...
Has there ever been a male Mascot?
The current mascot is cute and way better than anything I could have done but I really don't like female anime/manga characters....
=.=

I dunno why, I'm a girl myself but I wouldn't DREAM of cosplaying one.

Sorry for being a fuddy-duddy...

if I can recall correctly:

kumori (曇): cloudy

so why all of the rain influence (umbrellas, geloshes, paper dolls)?

maybe we should rename kumoricon to... amecon? :lol:

There is a forum provided for posting while stupid. Please keep the stupid out of this forum.

Why all the clouds? That's our theme. "Kumori" goes with the regional weather. (Although it's usually warm and sunny on Labor Day weekend...)

Man,I keeping thinking, maybe there should a be a guy and a girl mascot one year? See how many shirts{or other stuff} are bought of the male and the female.

It'd be interesting to see.
