Kappa
Posted by Sylvia Xiaorui in Books Speak to Me on February 5, 2010
Kappa Senoo is a renowned and awarded Japanese theatrical designer, alternative artists and travel writer, and the ultimate Kappa.
Kappa (河童, “river-child”) is the legendary water sprite in Japanese folklore. With the size of a child, scales on the back, webbed hands and feet, the Kappa lives in the river and is seen as the mischievous troublemaker, occasionally even kidnap and eat human being. But the Kappa is curious of human civilization and will befriend with polite and respectful people when been subdued. In one sentence, Kappa is an imp or a trickster than a monster.
