Japan’s obsession with all things cute, and the fairly recent convergence of this trend into cuddly little canines kitted out in all kinds of clothing, is an easy practice to poke fun at. However, that said, it could be a sign that I’m getting soft, or possibly because as a child I had a practically identical pet,
but somehow there’s something faintly fetching, cute even, about this feisty young festival goer in his colourful little coat.
