Summer: The Kappa　

Digital C Print

20"H x 30"W

The kappa is a water spirit said to inhabit lakes and rivers.
Not exactly evil, they are nevertheless prone to causing mischief
such as peeking up women’s kimonos and pulling unsuspecting children
into the water.  Kappas love to drink sake. Their power rests in the water
atop the bowl-like depression atop their heads.  If confronted by a kappa,
bow to him. His deep sense of etiquette will force him to bow back, spilling
the water and weakening him.
