Description
COSTUME MADE BY PAPER CRANES - WWW.PAPERCRANES.CO.UKThe title "Paper Tiger" not only references Taiga's nickname and the name of the commissioner who I ordered this costume from, but it is also a translation of a Chinese colloquialism "zhǐlǎohǔ", which means something that seems as threatening as a tiger, but is really harmless. Unlike Taiga I guess- but very much like Ryuuji.
It's also a title of song by one of my favourite bands.
