The Cutest Little Kappa

Ever since I first heard of them as a small kid back home I have love the Japanese mythological creature called “Kappa“, aquatic river spirtis a humanoid half frog, half turtle. Back in the good old days they were used to scare children to be careful near rivers and ponds and the tales they featured in were pretty horrific. But as will all things Japanese nothing can escape “cutification”, and now Kappa is widely seen very much like these characters I found in last weeks “Design Fersta”. Of course I bought one of them, my first and I think my only purchase this year’s Design Festa. Aren’t they just adorable. The two creators were quite happy to pose with their little cuties!
