by Manami Okazaki; Geoff Johnson
From the jacket flap
Showcasing Japan's astonishingly varied culture of cute, this volume takes the reader on a dazzling and adorable visual journey through all things kawaii. As colorful as its subject matter, this book contains numerous interviews with illustrators, artists, fashion designers, and scholars. Best of all, it includes hundreds of colorful photographs that capture kawaii's ubiquity: on the streets and inside homes, on lunchboxes and airplanes, in haute couture and street fashion, in cafes, museums, and hotels.
