Past events
Shoai Festival | Higashi Osaka UniversitySun, Dec 7 — Osaka Prefecture
Shoai Festival at Higashi Osaka University. In addition to live performances by artists, there will be an intro quiz, a bingo tournament, and a cross-dressing contest. Among these, I hear the first prize in the bingo tournament is a DSLR camera! It’s a great chance to step into the deep world of photography. Why not join in and aim for the top prize?
