It’s the matchstick bunny ears that are killing me.

Oh, and I would also love to have a T-shirt with the bee on it. Wonder if that’s possible?

Can anyone translate the characters that are printed on the packaging? I’d really like to know what the bee carrying the bucket of honey is saying.

*puts on Cutologist eyeglasses*
Economic design. Teh abstraction of teh Qte. Simplicity.
I like that the panda ears and bunny ears have been printed on the matches or packaging. It would be funny if they printed tailos on the back of the matches.

So… I heard from commenter Aunty(1) about the creator of Sad Kitty(2), who says the Dutch artist Dick Bruna(3) was influential to the Japanese style of cute art.

I’ve heard the Japanese car companies have taken in Western car technology, improved them and returned better, yet affordable, cars. They’ve beat us in the cute food department with elaborate bentos, food packaging and interesting takes on “Western” food. When they hand our asses back to us, I’d like mine to be “kawaii”-ized. :P
