While this isn’t straight from Japan, the idea is – amigurumi
While shopping at Anthropologie, my sister saw this adorable octopus.
For $22. I told my sister I could make one for her for way cheaper. And after a couple months I did finally get around to it. I was pretty happy with the results.

You know how there are some things that are so cool and you like to pretend that you are the only one who knows about them….like that indie band or that adorable shop. And so you don’t tell others about it because if everyone knows about it, it won’t be as cool. That’s kind of the way I feel about Re-ment.
I LOVE it! And I like to pretend that I am the only one that knows about it. But I am going to be mature and realize that I can like things even if other people like them too.
(I think) Also, a lot more people have discovered it anyway.
And so I present re-ment….the cutest things ever.

One of the cutest things I have found from Japan is KomaNeko.
You can check it out here. The cutest stop action movies you have ever seen. And such a sweet character.
Another adorable and popular thing is amigurumi.
There are so many sweet things you can crochet.
But! What if you combined these too cute, kawaii things. It’s cuteness to the max, and you can make it yourself!

A story. One day a young girl was watching TV and the cutest commercial ever came on. It was cute little miniature animals, all dressed in people clothes but still fuzzy and furry and they had a whole little miniature world. She loved, loved, loved that commercial. And so when it came on again, she dared to ask her Mom if she could get them.
Her Mom said yes! They didn’t have a lot of spending money, and even asking for a toy was a bit out of bounds, but then to ask and actually receive a yes…well, that is the pinnacle of life…

That’s right, I Heart Japan has put together some fun and wacky Japanese T-Shirts.
Choose from “I have no idea what this says”, “I only pretend to like sushi”, and “Danger Gaijin”.
I find Japanese food to be so interesting. It so different from anything I’ve ever eaten, even Thai, Chinese and Vietnamese seem quite different. So it is always interesting to see what is a common Japanese dish or what to order in restaurants. And as is so often the case, their food can be adorable!

We love Japan for many reasons, but cute is a big one. They even dress cute. And there are many ways to dress cute. Everyone knows about gothloli – mixing French baroque with little girl knee highs, lots of pink and bows.

The Japanese are whizzes with paper. Chiyogami for paper crafts; Shojigami for housing fittings; Karakami for sliding panels, clothing and waterproofed raincoats. And they continue to see it as a useful and playful item. Canon is perfect example of that. Look at the brilliant things they have come up with, just with paper and a printer.
I was amazed. I just had to see this card and I was blown away! I had never seen something this wonderful just offered for free with patterns, as if we could all just do it. I have yet to give it a go, I’m a bit nervous it won’t turn out as good as I want it to. And look at this one.
And that is just a drop in the bucket of what they offer. They offer toys that move, that you can make! You can build yourself the Taj Mahal! There is stuff for scrapbookers, art, and all different styles of calendars. You can spend a lot of time, just checking out all the amazing stuff they offer…..free!
My plan is to have my nephew over and build some type of bulldozer or crane or something. It’s going to be a fun way for us to spend time together.
