Suffering from too much choice as I now have about 8 various Japanese craft books, I chose to make the above little fella as it looked easy and my son wanted one.
It is a Kappaxile, and if I remember correctly this is a water spirit that eats children and has to be fed cucumbers to pacify him and protect the children. I can't find a link with the full legend unfortunately. He has a little bow and arrow made from toothpicks...heehee! I need to get out more!
Here he is menacing the paper dachshund I made last week from a Japanese kit.
Happy New Year everybody - hope 2009 is full of health, wealth & happiness for you.
