As many of us already know, there has been a shortage of face masks all around the world. Because of this, a lot of civilians have become a bit creative when it comes to their protective wear. From wearing a head-to-toe giraffe costume to using water bottles as face shields, it’s interesting to see the lengths these individuals will go through to prevent contagion.
Recently, a Japanese designer and builder has been making waves online for his detailed, anime-themed face masks. The man in question is Twitter user @gekidan2264, who shared his creations on social media and garnered numerous praise from Otakus everywhere.
