Kawaii is a word that originated in 1970s Japan when schoolgirls adopted the term to describe everything cute. This word is now understood world-wide and identifies a particular trend of visual aesthetics (Hello Kitty being the most famous). Kawaii is a recognizable art form practiced by artists all over the world and covers the visual gamut from commercial art (stickers, clothing, calendars, pens, pencils, erasers, video games) to high-brow contemporary art (e.g. Takashi Murakami and Yoshitomo Nara).

Book Description
Showcasing Japan's astonishingly varied culture of cute, this volume takes the reader on a dazzling and adorable visual journey through all things kawaii. Although some trace the phenomenon of kawaii as far back as Japan's Taisho era, it emerged most visibly in the 1970s when schoolgirls began writing in big, bubbly letters complete with tiny hearts and stars. From cute handwriting came manga, Hello Kitty, and Harajuku, and the kawaii aesthetic now affects every aspect of Japanese life. As colorful as its subject matter, this book contains numerous interviews with illustrators, artists, fashion designers, and scholars. It traces the roots of the movement from sociological and anthropological perspectives and looks at kawaii's darker side as it morphs into gothic and gloomy iterations. 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 cafés, museums, and hotels.

Book Description
Le mot kawaii est né dans les années 70 au Japon quand les collégiennes adoptent ce terme pour décrire tout ce qui leur semblait mignon et qui, à la fois, représentait une forme de rébellion pacifique contre le système. Elles ne pouvaient pas s'imaginer que ce mot, devenu par la suite une tendance de la culture visuelle et populaire japonaise franchirait les frontières et deviendrait une référence esthétique pour des milliers d'artistes du monde entier. Beaucoup d'entre nous, éprouvons une attraction irrésistible pour tout ce qui est mignon, ce n'est pas seulement une perception visuelle mais c'est aussi une expérience personnelle qui souvent nous transforme en kawaiiaccros : on collectionne des objets, on surfe sur la toile à la recherche de personnages et on conçoit même nos propres créations sous l'influence de ce mouvement. Charuca a consacré de nombreuses heures de recherche et de travail pour nous faire ce beau cadeau : une véritable encyclopédie exquise, remplie d'images, de personnages, de monstres, de petits animaux, de grande dose de sucre et d'exquisité. Entre ses pages on pourra découvrir de nombreux créateurs aux styles très différents et personnels unis par un dénominateur commun : l'amour pour le kawaii.
