Trend: Kawaii

July 20, 2009 by Vikram Goyal

There is a fun trend coming to the US from Japan termed “kawaii”, pronounced “ka-why-ee”, the simple definition is “cute” and it’s a big trend in clothes, food, toys and even crafts and stamps.  This trend borrows alot of influences from Japanese anime and manga forms of animation. Here’s a wikipedia page if you’re interested in more info. I wanted to share some of the great stamp shops that focus on kawaii, the images are so sweet and so much fun!

NikoArt  has some of the most adorable kawaii stamps, Nicole Holi is the wonderful illustrator for these stamps. You can buy wood mounted sets or individual stamps. I particularly love this Forest Friends set:

 The Mayberry Sparrow offers terrific hand carved kawaii style stamps like this absolutely adorable bunny:

Hope you’ve enjoyed this peek into the fun world of kawaii stamps!
