TEN TEN, a New York–based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization focused on cultural exchange

and community arts, announces the return of Kawaii Holiday Market III, a four-day celebration

of Japanese pop culture, independent creators, and contemporary kawaii arts. The event will

take place December 11–14, 2025 at Ideal Glass Studio in the East Village.

Kawaii Holiday Market is one of New York City’s largest celebrations of contemporary J-culture, bringing together international artists, independent designers, and fans for a four-day event featuring a curated market, fashion programming, workshops, and live performances. As interest in Japanese fashion and pop culture continues to rise in New York—recently even highlighted on local television—this year’s edition expands its focus on J-fashion, creative expression, and cross-cultural exchange.
