Yes, you did just read that correct – a man in Japan has actually married his pillow!
Lee Jin-gyu fell for his ‘dakimakura’ – which is a large, huggable pillow from Japan, these types of pillows often have a picture of a popular animation character printed on the side.
Lee’s pillow had an image of Fate Testarossa, from the animation series Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha – which probably means nothing to us here in the UK, but apparantly she is a popular figure in Japan, i wouldn’t go as far as to marry a pillow with her image on though… that is a little extreme!
Lee is 28 and is known amongst his friends as a obsessive nerd when it comes to the animation series, married his pillow in a special wedding ceremonty in Japan, he even dressed the pillow in a wedding dress which was performed by a local priest?!
‘He is completely obsessed with this pillow and takes it everywhere, they go out to the park or the funfair where it will go on all the rides with him. Then when he goes out to eat he takes it with him and it gets its own seat and its own meal.’ said one of Lee’s close friends.
Now i know people speak about ‘loving’ their bed, duvet and pillows – but this is one step too far!
All of the materials that the man made material
