Kawaii is Japanese and originally means "adorable", "sweet", "cute", "childlike" or "attractive". It emphasises innocence and childishness and has spread to all areas of Japanese society. Kawaii culture dates back to the late 1960s. Young people began to express their individuality through fashion. Famous kawaii characters such as Doraemon and Hello Kitty were created during this time. To this day, kawaii influences art, anime, manga, music, advertising, television programmes, character products and fashion. The cat on the poster in street art graffiti style rebels against this particular culture: anything but cute. Does this suit you?
