Her blog is called Skinni inner inspiration outer space, and is about kawaii between western and Asian culture.

She published a thesis book called “Power of Cute,” which investigates the power of “cuteness”, and how it changes the connotative meaning of the object itself. It also explores whether the appearance of an object is enough to dictate a person’s emotions, i.e. feeling comfortable or ill at ease as a direct result of its appearance. The main focus is on Japanese Kawaii (cuteness) culture.
