My guest today is Joshua Dale, professor at Chuo University in Tokyo and author of 'Irresistible: How Cuteness Wired our Brains and Changed the World'. We spoke about the historical roots of the Japanese passion for cuteness, the differences in pre-modern attitudes towards children in Japan and Europe, the role of domestication syndrome in the development of cuteness, and why Hello Kitty doesn't have a mouth.
In the extended part of the episode we also spoke about Lolita fashion in Japan, how cultural attitudes have changed towards cute pets, and the invention of emojis.
