PEACEBIRD My Age of Peace

Every girl’s childhood had Hello Kitty. The icon opened a themed pop-up restaurant in London. Created 1974 for Japan’s Anglophile girls—born outside London and good at English. Tombo (dragonfly) café ran six weeks of Kitty matcha sundaes, cupcakes and sashimi bowls topped with Kitty; Sanrio approached the Sloley brothers for a London Japanese café match. Merch fills the room for pilgrimages.
