Karakuri Babble is a daily column by the editors of i360.com, usually on topics tangentially related to anime and cosplay.

In the past we have endorsed many things; in the future we shall support many others.

I'm working on some kind of ridiculous excessive manifesto about naturalism in cosplay photography. Something like Dogme95. (I make no pretense to be original, you see.) Something aggressively concerned with playing to the environment, a declaration about found art and serendipity, and of course it's all a complete joke. . .

Or is it?

There will be between 7 and 10 points, they will draw heavily on previous manifestos written by better, more creative people, and I think that I will rather enjoy trying to follow them. For a little while.

Now I just need a suitably bombastic name.
