a Sunekosuri is a type of Japanese yokai. they are small and descirbed as being a mix between a cat and a dog, but all the art i've ever seen of them makes them look like a mix between a guinea pig and a Scottish-fold cat. my version is based partially off some modern art i found of them and the one from the movie The Great Yokai Wars. so it looks like a mix between a rabbit, guinea pig and chinchilla.
my reseasrch also tells me that the Sunekosuri like to rub against people's legs on cold rainy nights, and also make thier dens near walk-ways. then, when ever someone goes by at a speed the sunekosuri deems too fast, it dashes out and slips between the passer-by's legs and trips them up. they land flat on their face and the Sunekosuri, ironically, runs away so fast no one sees it. 'Sune' means 'lower leg' and 'kosuri' means 'rubber'.
a lady from Etsy asked me if i would make her a sunekosuri for $30. i put way too much effort into this for that much money, but that's my fault. totally awesome doll, though. i play-test ALL my toys like this before trying to sell a particular design, too, and i slept with them in the early days to test for smush-ability. this thing is 100% hand-sewn because furfabric's a bitch. i also just hand-cut the fabric without a pattern. so think this may qualify as soft-sculpture.
That is soooo adorable! Cutest thing you've made in my opinion, you could sell a LOT of those.
