This has been bugging me all evening. Maybe one of you can help me. Isn't there a Japanese word which means 'big eyes, small mouth', and basically stands for their whole concept of cute? And what is it?

On a not unrelated note, how come I never noticed the Hello Kitty shop in Chinatown until [livejournal.com profile] kyte pointed it out today? They practically had to drag me out again, while I babbled "awwww!" and "Engrish!" and such stuff, and tried to get Chinese shop assistants to translate the Japanese on things, embarrassing everybody involved.

There's also a dirt cheap (by comparison) one at Oriental City in Colindale.

ahhh, but then you have to take into consideration the fortune it costs to get there on the tube ;)
It's a lot less tempting to go all the way up to Oriental City now that the bookshop's closed. :( All that manga. Gone! Neither Mitsukoshi or the Japan Centre have such a good selection
