Description Kappas are a type of Japanese water demon. They are one of my favorite pieces of Japanese folklore. Here is a needle felted Kappa I made. This was my first attempt at needle felting. He is approximately an inch and a half tall and has a little shell on his back. (Which unfortunately isn't visible in this photo ... See it here: [link] )

I'm thinking about selling these on my Etsy shop. [link]

Any thoughts as to whether I should? If you are interested in purchasing one, please send me a note.

They are a neat legend. [link] I still love them despite what I know. They are cute - and teach manners to children! Children are supposed to BOW to them, so they are defeated!
