Hello little stars :)

The Kawaii Subculture

The Kawaii subculture originates from Japan in 1960 and revolves around the aesthetic and cultural appreciation of "kawaii" (かわいい), which translates to "cute" in English. It's more than just an aesthetic, it's a cultural phenomenon that celebrates all things adorable, innocent, and playful. Kawaii is a dominant theme in Japanese media, from anime and manga to video games and advertisements. It’s used to make products and characters more approachable and lovable.
