Wabi-Sabi Cosplay was created in 2024 (A.A. Cosplay and Cherokee Turner) in Little Rock AR. With a background of theater and film their specialty has been props and their weathering process.

 

Their first build (Princess Mononoke) was supposed to be just a photoshoot only project but after creating it they knew they truly had something special to show off and thus Wabi-Sabi was born.

 

Wabi-Sabi means perfection through imperfection and that's why they give so much detail to their weathering process and try to make it look as if the character lived in the cosplay.

 

They have continued on to win Best in Show, Best Prop, and a handful of other awards since 2024.
