Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Hello Kitty is a marketing wonder and a cultural phenomenon. Having recently celebrated her 50th birthday, her popularity shows no signs of slowing. There are theme parks, restaurants, cafes, and hotels dedicated to her. Millions of people worldwide buy Hello Kitty products, from toasters to tweezers. Her appeal crosses all classes: parents buy their children Hello Kitty pyjamas from discount high street stores, super fans spend thousands of dollars to amass thousands of items bearing Kitty's face, and star fans such as Paris Hilton sport Swarovski-encrusted Hello Kitty necklaces. In Pink Tsunami you will read about the fans, but also about Hello Kitty's designers and marketers and how they contributed to the kawaii kitty's global popularity. We will also see why the Queen of Kawaii is derided by some for her simplistic cuteness. Several years in the making, and meeting the people who love, hate, and live Hello Kitty along the way, this book is the definitive account of Japan's cutest cultural icon. Alan Brender is author of over 20 books and hundreds of magazine and newspaper articles. Among the many celebrities he has interviewed for Starlog are Jane Seymour, Mark Hamill, Gene Roddenberry, Billy Crystal, Wilfred Hyde- White, and David Hasselhoff. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. New York: Kodansha International, 1989. First edition. First printing. Hardcover. Full blue cloth with silver spine lettering and light-blue endpapers. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Publisher's original price intact on front flap ($17.95). Comes with archival-quality mylar dust jacket protector. A tight, clean copy. Octavo, 151 pages. Translated from the Japanese by Janine Beichman in collaboration with Alan Brender. Five stories. "The End of Summer" portrays a married woman's affair and its emotional aftermath, a frank exploration of love and conscience that challenged postwar Japanese social conventions. Originally published in Japan as "Natsu no Owari," it won the Women's Literary Award in 1963 and appears here as the first English translation of any of Setouchi's novels. This volume also includes four additional stories: "The Overflowing," "Lingering Affection," "Spring Chill," and "The Pheasant" Harumi Setouchi (1922-2021) was one of Japan's most distinguished novelists and later a Buddhist nun, celebrated for her bold depictions of women's inner lives. Her later novel "Beauty in Disarray" (translated by Sanford Goldstein and Kazuji Ninomiya, Tuttle, 1993) is a historical portrait of anarchist writer Ito Noe.
