Most Sanrio fans know that while Hello Kitty’s family lives in London, her origins are actually rooted in Japan, the land of anime and a rising powerhouse in pop culture. What better way to feature the two than to combine both in one blog?“Curiouser and Curiouser…“, by kamijoanna, is a blog that shows a perfect mix of Hello Kitty and Japan. From stories (complete with quest guides!) and screenshots of the MMORPG Hello Kitty Online to actual pictures taken of Japan’s sights and sounds (including the food, Shibuya,  boutiques, and the like), the blog is definitely a one-stop shop for those who love the anthropomorphic white feline.
