Description
Just like in the fairy tale, Isunboshi is traveling down the river in a rice bowl boat with a chopstick for an oar

***
Issunboshi, or an Inch-High-Samurai is a character from Japanese fairy tale of the same name.
My Issunboshiis about 7,5" (nearly 20 cm) high, which is bit bigger than an Issun (Issun it's a measure of approximately 3 centimeters). But I didn't think of fairy tales when I started to sew, I just wanted a to make a feltie doll that could be dressed in a different outfits (and so I did). Then a terrible thing happened: my cat had stolen the doll while the paint on it's face was drying, and played with it for a several minutes before was discovered. Miraculously, the feltie survived. So I decided to call him Issunboshi (who was nearly eaten by an Oni )
