Japanese Pixel Sozai Sites
Fool Lovers provided key assets for my current website layout and contains so much more!
Sorahana primarily contains cute, nature-themed graphics for soft, fairytale vibes.
Hotchoco has a lot of cute pixel graphics, though the site may be a bit difficult to enter if you don’t know Japanese.
Asterism contains elegant, sparkly, and lacy web material, covering backgrounds, icons, and templates.
Pokyaron has small pixel web resources as well as large art, spanning many styles. However, it may be difficult to navigate if you don’t know Japanese.
