What is Kawaii?
Kawaii means cute in Japanese. Japanese people use this word to describe people and things that are “cute” or “cuteness.”
I spent nine months in Japan about 20 years ago. Kawaii was probably one of the first words that I learned. It was hard not to. If you spend any time around Japanese people – particularly young women – then it is a word that you are bound to hear over and over.
One of the things that I found strange in Japan was how older women would walk around with these kawaii objects. They would wear them, attach them to their bags or accessorize with these cute accessories. They would also eat them. There were many cakes and cookies in the shape of Hello Kitty and other similar characters. Today, it has become more prevalent in western countries as well, but at the time, it was pretty unique to Japan.
Japanese work culture is very demanding. People work very long hours, and they are very serious at work. When I lived in Japan, a Japanese friend explained to me that kawaii is a way to escape the stress, be childish, and have fun. Why don’t you try these cute planners and see if they help you relieve stress and just have fun! Feel like a child again!
