Announcing: Kotatsu 2012









February 25th-26th 2012 - National Nikkei Museum & Heritage Centre (Burnaby)

IRL Events is proud to announce the first annual Kotatsu convention, taking place on February 25th and 26th, at the National Nikkei Museum & Heritage Centre in Burnaby. 

Kotatsu offers a unique blend of traditional Japanese cultural festival elements, combined with the fun of an anime convention. Attendees can look forward to a variety of Japanese cultural demonstrations, foods, workshops, tutorials, and general culture throughout the day. During evening hours however, the convention will shift towards much more fan-based panels, events, and performances more typical of what you might find at other anime conventions.
