Spotted the Osaka Expo mascot Myaku-Myaku at Shinagawa Station! Already kinda creepy at first glance—plus, what’s with those droopy water-drop things hanging from its elbows?!
Today’s blog is about art and design I stumbled across in the city!
Japan is basically heaven for character lovers—cute graphic design posters are everywhere. I keep stopping to snap photos, so it takes me forever to actually get anywhere!
Shimizu in Shizuoka = home of soccer mascot Pal-chan! His hundred-expression poster would be perfect for practicing facial expressions!Also spotted lots of illustrations by Shimizu-born creator Momoko Sakura! Even the handwritten text has the same cozy vibe as her drawings.
Saw this poster at Hikarie in Shibuya—color choices and concept are so stylish. Totally gives off ‘fashion building ad’ energy!
Looked out the window of a Harajuku silver accessory shop and—boom—right across the street was the OG Harajuku kawaii brand 6%DOKIDOKI! Of course their second-floor display was extra loud and colorful.
