According to Saitama Newspaper, the portable shrine featuring Lucky ☆ Star called "Lucky Star Mikoshi" departed from Washinomiya Shrine, the model shrine of Hiiragi sisters' shrine, for Expo 2010 Shanghai. The Mikoshi will arrive at the Expo by the end of this month and will be displayed at Japan Pavilion after the inspection.

Lucky Star Mikoshi was made in 2008. The weight is 130kg and it is carried by about one hundred people at an annual summer festival "Haji-sai". The transport expenses for Expo were built by the donations of the local residents and Lucky Star fans.

Whoa, that's epic.
I was at the shanghai expo, but i didn't see it. I wasn't into anime yet anyways, so i wouldn't have even noticed. :|

I should probably point out that the Shrine isn't AT or INSIDE the Japanese Pavilion. I'll have to go searching for it.

As probably the biggest LS fan alive... I'm honored to know that LS will have its shrine in my motherland during the Expo.

I'd normally say that the idea of having such a shrine is pretty stupid, but when I think about what my country's gonna show I'm kinda jealous.

I can't describe the "failness".

That's....both fucking creepy and fucking awesome at the same time.

Although my fandom for LS will never extend that far as to carry the shrine...

I'm amazed. Next up we'll LS fans scrambling to visit the shrine.
