Kawaii Japan's culture of cute is a book by author Manami Okazaki that documents Japan's kawaii culture in all its manifestations. We interview some of the most famous Japanese shojo manga artists, illustrators, designers, artists who encapsulate the kawaii aesthetic in their work.

Book Finished!
The project is finished, now Im just waiting for the books to actually arrive.
Thanks to everyone at Random House, the numerous photographers who participated, the models and the interviewees.
So, the big news regarding the book is we have a new cover. It looks fantastic and I can't thank Ai from Useless and kera! model Kurebayashi enough for making it happen.
I just need to point out that there was nothing actually wrong with the old cover, in fact we loved it, but it was decided that the cover should be a fashion cover.
Here it is!
