'Stay Kawaii: Street Style Coloring Book' is a cosy love letter to kawaii culture, street style, and urban creativity in Japan.

Follow adorable characters as they explore colourful city scenes inspired by Tokyo, Osaka, Fukuoka, and Okinawa, painting the walls and skating in the streets. From late-night konbini stops and karaoke fun to flea market treasure hunting, and train spotting, each page captures the rhythm of city life from a soft, personal point of view.

The characters are inspired by Japanese mascots, food, and urban elements, blending kawaii charm with street culture. You’ll meet a happy octopus from Japanese food culture, a yellow dog inspired by the iconic Fueki character from Osaka, playful frogs, and many more.

In true Japanese spirit, everything has a soul, and every wall, object, and character feels alive.Created by illustrator and well-known graffiti artist Yubia, the book is deeply rooted in real experiences from her time spent living in Japan.

It reflects a daily, intimate way of discovering the city: wandering through streets, meeting friends, creating art, moving to music, and finding beauty in small rituals.
