Meido & Mikoshi

If you were wondering why the Akihabara Otaku Shrine was constructed, here’s you answer:

Girls dressed as maids carry a “mikoshi,” or portable shrine, during an event to promote the Akihabara district on Sunday. The mikoshi was decorated with objects representative of the district, such as manga, or comic books, laptop computers, toy robot models and video games.

This is what I call a true fusion of the old tradition and new culture. ^^
