Very interesting figures, especially the 1st one.
I have a sake set, made on Shikoku a long time ago, with the cups in the form of a male and female kappa. I haven't had any hot sake in a long time (cold either, actually!).
I love myth and legend and the image is very well tajen.
I never heard about kappa before... There are so many things about Japan that I don't know... Thank you Nobu for enlighting my poor knowledge...
Weird but very interesting creature. I love myths and legends and would love to find a book about Japanese ones. In English, of course :)
