Along with Japanese technology and Japanese cars, Japanese art is also making its way to us. So, no one is surprised by the exclamations "nya!" and "kawaii!", from time to time coming from flocks of schoolgirls who are enthusiastically discussing something, and icons, calendars, notebooks, posters and other accessories with anime cartoon characters have long been wildly popular.

"Kawaii nyashechki" literally flooded the world - even such serious and respectable states as France, Germany and Great Britain succumbed to the general euphoria. Designers, stylists, fashion designers and other creative personalities have "cut the trick" in time, and today everyone can turn into a "cute". However, let's leave the transformations for fans of cosplay and role-playing games, and return to more traditional creativity. For example, to a mini-sculpture with a special, anime bias.

The collection of these "Pokemon" sculptures-souvenirs was created by the Peruvian designer Alejandro Velazquez, who turned into anime characters even those who weren't even close to them. But this does not prevent his works from being wildly popular among the "kawaii" schoolchildren of Lima, who decorate their rooms, briefcases with Velasquez's "Pokemon", wear them as key chains and pendants on a chain.
