In a way, kakkoii which means &#8216;good-looking&#8217; is the masculine equivalent of kawaii.<\/p>\n<p>Architecture in Japan is part of the nation&#8217;s pop culture today, and those two words are often quite relevant to describe Japanese architectures. I cannot deny the feeling that architect <a href=\"http:\/\/www.architecton.co.jp\/\"><b>Akira Yoneda<\/b> of Architecton<\/a> is in the hunt for ultimate kakkoiiness in architecture. This small house called \u0394 in Meguro, Tokyo is a good example &#8211; he is really pushing the envelope to the point that some may feel this is almost grotesque.<\/p>\n<p><img
