如果有一天，你走進一間甜品店，發現一塊烤棉花糖巧克力夾心餅上，藏著一隻熊貓，假裝自己是那團融化的棉花糖；一旁疊得高高的粉紅馬卡龍上，三隻小豬擠在一起，睡得正香——別懷疑自己是不是太餓了。你只是走進了日本插畫家 tt.tohto 的世界。

If one day you walk into a dessert shop and find a panda hiding inside a s’more, pretending to be the melted marshmallow, and three little pink pigs piled on top of a stack of pink macarons, fast asleep – don’t question if you’re just too hungry. You’ve simply stepped into the world of Japanese illustrator tt.tohto.

來自日本的插畫家 t.t.（Instagram: @tt.tohto）擅長描繪「隱身於小小事物中的小小世界」。她以溫暖的色調和細膩的筆觸，將柔軟芳香的甜品與可愛的小動物巧妙結合，創作出一系列甜蜜有趣的插畫作品。她的作品沒有複雜的敘事，卻總能在第一時間抓住你的目光——因為那些藏在蛋糕裡的貓咪、躲在壽司上的小熊，實在讓人無法忽視。

Japanese illustrator t.t. (Instagram: @tt.tohto) specialises in depicting “small worlds hidden within small things”. Using warm colours and delicate brushstrokes, she cleverly combines soft, fragrant desserts with cute animals to create a series of sweet and playful illustrations. Her works don’t rely on complex narratives – yet they capture your attention immediately, because those cats hiding in cakes and bears curled up on sushi are simply impossible to ignore.

在她的作品中，動物們不再只是乖乖當動物，而是偷偷混進了食物裡——一隻熊貓癱在烤棉花糖巧克力夾心餅上，假裝自己是那團融化的棉花糖；一隻棕熊頂著茄子的綠色蒂頭，企圖冒充茄子；一隻貓咪捲成飯糰的模樣，在壽司上打盹；還有一隻北極熊，乾脆在紅豆粥裡泡起熱水澡。每一幅畫都像一場可愛的躲貓貓，讓人忍不住想問：到底該先吃，還是先抱？

In her work, animals don’t just stay as animals – they sneak into the food. A panda sprawls on a s’more, pretending to be the melted marshmallow. A brown bear balances an eggplant’s green stem on its head, trying to pass as a vegetable. A cat curls up like a rice ball and dozes off on a piece of sushi. And a polar bear? He’s simply enjoying a warm bath in a bowl of red bean porridge. Each illustration feels like a playful game of hide-and-seek, leaving you wondering: should I take a bite first, or a hug?

t.t. 的靈感來自日常生活——一個午後的甜點、一隻路過的小貓、一片灑在桌上的陽光。她把這些平凡的瞬間轉化為畫筆下的溫暖場景，讓觀者在欣賞的同時，也重新發現生活中被忽略的小確幸。這種「將日常化為童話」的能力，正是 t.t. 作品最迷人之處。

t.t.’s inspiration comes from everyday life – an afternoon dessert, a passing cat, a patch of sunlight on the table. She transforms these ordinary moments into warm scenes under her brush, allowing viewers to rediscover the small joys they often overlook. This ability to turn the everyday into fairy tales is what makes t.t.’s work so captivating.

2024年11月，t.t. 推出了她的首本著作——《t.t.のねこのかくれんぼ Postcard Book》（貓咪捉迷藏明信片書），由日本出版社 Orange Page 發行。翻開這本明信片書，就像走進一場「美味食物 × 貓咪」的躲貓貓遊戲。貓咪可能從麵包的邊緣悄悄探出小臉，躲在疊得高高的甜點之間露出尾巴，或是縮在果實與餐盤的縫隙裡，靜靜地看著你。每一頁都是一個等待被發現的小驚喜——翻開的瞬間，你會忍不住會心一笑：「找到了！」

In November 2024, t.t. released her first publication – “t.t.’s Cat Hide-and-Seek Postcard Book”, published by Orange Page in Japan. Opening this postcard book feels like stepping into a game of hide-and-seek between delicious food and cats. A cat peeks out from the edge of a loaf of bread, another hides its tail between a stack of pastries, and a third curls up in the gap between fruit and a plate, quietly watching you. Every page is a little surprise waiting to be discovered – and when you find it, you can’t help but smile: “Found you!”

2026年1月10日至3月6日期間，t.t. 的原創商品也曾在日本全國 LOFT發售。產品線包括備忘錄本、透明文件夾、亞克力鑰匙圈、貼紙等，每一件都像是從她的畫作中跳出來的小驚喜。這些商品的設計保留了 t.t. 一貫的溫暖風格——可愛的動物們依然躲在文具與小物裡，等待被發現。

From 10 January to 6 March 2026, t.t.’s original merchandise was available at LOFT stores across Japan. The lineup includes memo pads, clear files, acrylic key holders, and stickers – each piece feels like a small surprise that has jumped out of her illustrations. The designs retain t.t.’s signature warmth – the cute animals are still hiding in stationery and small goods, waiting to be found. 

t.t. 的畫不趕時間。它們靜靜地在那裡，等你發現，等你微笑，等你覺得——嗯，今天好像也不錯。她曾說，希望自己的作品能成為人們忙碌生活中的小小喘息。而她的確做到了——當你看著那些躲在甜點裡的動物，你會不自覺地放慢腳步，會心一笑。

找一個悠閒的午後，泡一杯熱茶，打開 t.t. 的 Instagram——你會發現，原來生活裡藏著這麼多甜蜜的小驚喜。

t.t.’s illustrations are never in a hurry. They wait quietly for you to find them, to smile, and to think – hey, maybe today isn’t so bad after all. She once said that she hopes her work can become a small breather in people’s busy lives. And she has indeed achieved that – when you look at those animals hiding in desserts, you can’t help but slow down and smile.

Find a quiet afternoon, brew a cup of tea, and open t.t.’s Instagram – you’ll discover that life is full of sweet little surprises waiting to be found.
