Purikura is the abbreviation of "Purinto Kurabu", Print club in English. The idea is to make some small pictures into a cabin and then, to customize it.
How does it work ?
A purikura machin is bigger than a classic photoscrew. You can move inside, you take various shoots and at the end you choose your favorite.
Then you go outside of the cabin and there is the most amazing thing ! Customization !
You can put whatever you want : stars, diamonds, many colors, hats, accessories, change face's color, etc...
You can choose the size of the picture.
You can find in Japan many Purikura, most of them in rooms of arch or at the top af big department stores. Most of them are classic, but you can find someones that rent Cos Play, wigs, or even removable sets, such as Hello Kitty at the back. You can change the lights.
Why is Purikura so famous in Japan ?
Young girls love to take these kind of small pixes. One of their favorite game, as teenagers, is to take at least one picture on each purikura they can find ! That is why they often have "Purikura Books" and they exchange them with their friends.
Purikura used to be a phenomenon for girls but now we can see that it is also for boys. We can say that purikuras are a real hobby for teenagers; indeed, for having used them, it is very funny, we joke a lot and it can make great memories for a day or a good time with friends.
Purikura over the world ?
Purikura is a real phenomenon in Japan and Taiwan also. But it is not very popular in Europe (even if we can find them a little more and more). It is developping in Asia, in countries such à Hong Kong and China.
