Wink books is this awesome blog that profiles a new book a day, to celebrate their love of print.  Super happy to find kawaii on there. 

About Wink books: 

Books are not dead! The newest thing in the digital age are solid paper books. Not all books deserve to be printed on paper, but some books do, and these are the books that Wink celebrates. Every weekday Wink reviews one remarkable book that demonstrates what paper books can do. 

The exquisite subtlety of traditional Japanese art and design is 
legendary. But on top of that subtlety, the Japanese have an odd 
affection for the aggressively cute. Cute as in Hello Kitty, anime 
manga, pulsating TV game show graphics, wide-eye-popping color packing 
and over-the-top cosplay costumes; the kind of extreme poptomistic 
cuteness that outsiders either find head-scratching ridiculous, or 
completely captivating. I’m in the latter camp and find myself delighted
 and made happy by the explosive sensibility of Japanese cuteness. Here 
is a mighty fine catalog of the full range of “kawaii” – or cuteness – 
in Japanese food, maps, fashion, toys, and love, and a bit of how it 
came to reign in Japan. – Kevin Kelly
