Welcome to kawaiiquilts!
"KAWAII" is Japanese for "cute". And nobody does cute like the Japanese!
Case in point: my all-time favorite character, Hamutaro. (known in the USA as Hamtaro)

As cute as the animated version is, the original children's books by Ritsuko Kawai are even better! (What would you expect from someone whose NAME is almost "kawaii"!)done in a soft, textured pastel style, I have yet to see anything cuter. A few have been translated into English, and are available on Amazon.
