Jimi Halloween 2026 returns with Japan's deliberately mundane costumes
Japan's annual 'Jimi Halloween' (Mundane Halloween) tradition continued this year, with participants dressing as everyday scenarios like someone struggling with a designer faucet or trying to take a group photo in a cramped izakaya. The event, which began in 2014 among adults at Daily Portal Z, intentionally avoids flashy costumes in favor of relatable, hyper-specific situational outfits shared under the hashtag #地味ハロウィン.
