Kawaii, most often, is used to embody positivity; and Kawaii art to be specific, is known to be not only aesthetically pleasing to eyes, but also something that invokes calmness and reduces anxiety. Having to deal with major anxiety issues, I tend to find out ways, which can prove useful in order to calm myself.

So one day while perusing through my Instagram feed, I came across a hashtag called #kawaiiart. I got curious and clicked on it, to find out what it entails. And viola! I entered a world of extremely talented Kawaii illustrators who create absolutely stunning and aesthetically pleasing content through their illustrations.
