KAWAII is Art -EXPRESS YOURSELF-” is the first exhibition in which
Masuda, known as the “King of Kawaii,” brings together multiple artworks
unravelling the concepts within the phenomena while introducing his
personal story of sharing kawaii with the world. Through his collection

feel the aesthetic for themselves, emphasizing its role in fostering a
sense of joy, innocence, and community as a tool for self-expression and
representation of a worldwide tribe to which we can all belong.
