Little Boy: The Arts of Japan's Exploding Subculture is the companion catalogue to the exhibition "Little Boy" curated by artist Takashi Murakami. The book is about the aesthetics of postwar culture in Japan. Little Boy also examines Kawaii (可愛さ kawaisa), the culture of cuteness which influenced Japan during the postmodernist era of the late 1900s; and the dissected pop-culture movement of Otaku. The book contains a collection of works including the first Godzilla, the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion, and the paintings of Chiho Aoshima.
