Japan in Germany

Every year there is an event called Japan Day in Düsseldorf, Germany. Last year, more than 700,000 visitors attended the event. Including me. ( ͡°ω ͡°)

The purpose of Japan day is to discover the japanese culture. Well... if the japan day really represents the japanese culture then Japanese population are 80% anime characters and 20% emo. (☉౪ ⊙)

Have a look at the pictures we took and you'll know what I'm talking about. ° ͜ʖ ͡ -

And maybe you can tell me how much this really displays your culture. ȏ.̮ȏ
Because I think it doesn't do very much.

What I expected

What it turned out to be

The first impressions on the street as we were walking to the festival.

First impression after arriving.

And ..... more of the same .....

Well, you might say that's this selection of pictures might be my individually and doesn't really reflect the event.

Well, if you don't believe in my pics, take a look at the pictures that german media published about the event:

NOW MY URGENT QUESTION

Is this really what Japanese culture is about????!!!
