Until Sept. 13, a transparent Hello Kitty sculpture will sit on the corner of 47th Street and Second Avenue near the Japan Society in New York.  The Time After Time Capsule, designed by artist and 6%DOKIDOKI fashion designer Sebastian Masuda, is partially filled with art and other non-perishable objects contributed by kids.
