Just had to share some Japanese cuteness with you, or Kawaii.We were given these very sweet gifts by our Daughter T, on her return from a recent trip to Japan.
First up are these Japanese Kawaii match boxes.
I just love the cute little chick and dog face on each match.
So simple but sweet.
Then we have Tokyo Banana!
Its a souvenir sweet of Tokyo. They are lovely fluffy sponge cakes
with a custard type banana flavoured filling.
Mmmm!

And last, but far from least, this box of Japanese cookies. As you can see by the illustration
on the front of the package, the cookies are of a very funny little Japanese character
named Gudetama.

Gudetama is a little unusual because he is an egg! A very lazy egg.
Gudetama, pronounced (Goo-deh tama), is a character created by the same company ( Sanrio ) as
Hello Kitty.
Hello Kitty.
Not only is he on Youtube and just about every product you can think of, but Gudetama has his own Twitter and Facebook accounts with very large followings!
Most Sanrio characters are cute and sweet
Gudetama is definitely cute, but he is also extremely lazy and depressed, often hiding from the world in his shell or wrapping himself in his bacon security blanket.
Some articles have reported the character is based on the way parents see their millennial children!

Whatever ideas are behind his creation, I think he is a little weird, sweet and funny.
(Be warned there can be some grossness attached to him as well!)
He is a big sensation in Japan, and his popularity is spreading across the world.
When I looked at a few gifs and clips staring Gudetama, I could see why.

I find Japanese culture really interesting for many reasons, The history, fashion and elegant serene gardens but one of the biggest has to be their wonderful products. Whether food, utensils, decor or art, so much effort has gone into making them cute, beautiful or evocative.
Their products are never just something you eat or use.
They often bring a smile to my face or twang my heart strings.

And that is something I can always have more of.
What about you?
Love to hear your comments.
