The Kappa is a creature in Japanese Folklore. In places where it is rumoured to roam, warning signs have been placed to ward away children and tourists. Kappa's are water demons with incredible elastic arms. They lure people to their pools and drown them to eat them. This drawing is of a Kappa that was supposedly captured on a beach in Japan in 1836. According to the records at the time, this kappa was 1 meter long, weighing 45 kg and had a bent neck and protruding chest.
