The Kappa In Japanese Folklore

  • Kappas are legendary creatures that inhabit the rivers and waterways of Japan. They have beaked noses, shells on their back and a depression on their heads that holds water. Kappa are mischievous troublemakers. Their pranks range from the relatively innocent, such as loudly passing gas or looking up women's kimonos, to the more troublesome such as drowning swimmers and eating children. They feed on their victims by sucking their liver though their anus. They love cucumbers and if you write your name on a cucumber and throw it in the river, the kappa may be appeased by your gift and allow you to swim in peace.

How Did I Miss That?

I finished up another outfit for Etsy and was pressing it, when I noticed this tiny flaw. Can you see it? A reddish line near the neckline? I think it's an actual thread that's a different color, rather than ink or something else that got on the garment.

It's part of set, there are pink pants with a sakura mochi print so I can applique something matching onto the top. But how did I miss that while embroidering, sewing on the buttons, all the other work I did?

Oh, I meant to post a picture of this, it's something Miranda and I made Brian for Christmas, so I couldn't post any pictures until he received it. It's a Snape hand puppet, heavily influenced by Potter Puppet Pals (this site opens with sound).
