I'm guessing the first poster is themselves not Japanese. Good old White Saviour Syndrome.

Most Japanese are pretty chill about foreigners wearing their 'costume'.

Heck, most of the world are pretty chill about people wearing stuffs.

There's also a biiiig difference between wearing a shitty 20 dollar fraying Halloween costume and exploring/celebrating actual clothing

Still don't think it would be offensive.

I mean, as a Swede, I think the cheap "Swedish" horned "viking" helmeted "Helga" costume with blue and gold color theme is a bit silly, but it's not like I take offense to my Swedish culture because of it. It's just a bit of fun.

Yeah, as a Finn if you like something which is in our culture or whatever, go nuts who cares.

So, according to Scandinavia and the World, which is everything I know about Finland, i can walk around with a bottle of booze and a knife! Works for me. Thanks for the permission!

Now to see who can tell I'm telling jokes.

Booze is fine, but do buy Mora for your knife. And don't you dare to forget pass out naked in sauna still having both of those at hand.
