The history of live-action role-playing (larp) in Japan, a mixture of improv-theatre and role-playing game, is rather short. The practice awoke broader interest mostly since 2012 through the abridged and commented Japanese translation of DragonSys<\/em>, a German larp rule system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As young as fantasy and sci-fi larp is in Japan, it faces a number of material constraints, one of which is the actual or perceived limited accessibility of space \u2013 Japan\u2019s largest larp group meets in a community centre instead of in the woods, on camping grounds, or in a castle. Also limited is the availability of larp paraphernalia common in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Japan\u2019s larpers do have access to an extraordinary source for equipment, though: 100-Yen-Shops, hyakkin<\/em>. These shops offer a broad variety of products for just 100 Yen, useful for larping as outlined by Japan\u2019s first \u201chow-to-larp\u201d publications. This paper discusses the development and current state of larp in Japan: How did \u201cEuropean-style\u201d fantasy larp come to Japan? How was this practice adapted to local circumstances? How is it related to sibling practices, such as cosplay <\/em>(masquerading) and pen & paper role-playing? The paper analyses the ways of appropriation including the discursive and<\/em> material constraints practitioners are entangled with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conceptualizing larp as a network of heterogeneous human and non-human elements, the practice in Japan is hardly defined by a somewhat special \u201cJapaneseness\u201d but produced through the tracing of connections between these various elements. \u201cJapanese-style\u201d fantasy larp combines \u201cglobal\u201d elements of larping with \u201clocal\u201d materials so that the practice is (continuously) reassembled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
