Description

For a long time I have had a friend of mine asking me if I could make a Kodama from Princess Mononoke.

Its about 118 mm tall X 52mm at its widest point.

What is a Kodama you ask?

A kodama (æœ¨é‚?) is a spirit from Japanese folklore, which is believed to live in certain trees (similar to the Dryad of Greek mythology).

According to the 13th century RyÅbu Shinto manual Reikiki, kodama can be found in groups in the inner reaches of mountains. They occasionally speak, and can especially be heard when a person dies.[1]

In modern times, cutting down a tree which houses a kodama is thought to bring misfortune, and such trees are often marked with shimenawa rope.
