Still Loving the Kawaii Culture

The other day, I happened to be out late in the evening and looked across a parking lot. Perhaps it was because I don't get out much these days, or perhaps because I'm more internationally focussed than I once was, but I was struck by these adorable stuffiest organized across someone's dashboard.

This was hardly the first time I had seen such a display in a vehicle but it was one of the first times in years I recognized the feeling of admiration at the appreciation of adorableness in me.


It's not every car, but many days boards and back windows out here in the small city areas and countryside double as showcases for the hobbies and interests of the drivers, be it an adorable selection of Pokemon stuffies or a few animal shapes decals with the names of family pets proudly showing.


Is it like this where you are, too? It strikes me as much more common here than it was anywhere outside of a college campus when I was in the states.
