Description :
A tiny "Kappa" playing flute. It was depicted as a cute turtle-like creature here, but actually "Kappa" is a Japanese mythological monster. They look like a mixture of human being and turtle. They live near water such as rivers or ponds. They were said to drag small children into the water and eat their livers.
