Ceroill!! Yes, that is the story indeed. You pretty much hit the head on the nail.

It’s funny though how the Japanese spend big dollars on various projects to find cryptos. Japan has more technology and spirit to find BF than probably all other nations. Would be nice if they found something really big in the nearby future.

As I recall, pentastar, the Kappa is a malign water spirit/being shaped much like a large turtle/man, but with the distinguishing feature of a ‘hollow’ or bowl like depression on top of its head. The hollow contains water that the creature/spirit must not allow to be spilled. If its water is spilled out then it loses its power. I’d be very pleased if someone with better information could correct me on this.

It looks like a hybrid of the Abominable Snowman and Frosty the Snowman.

It’s advertisement for the Japanese railway (JR).

It’s not an ad for a trip to see the abominable snowman, just for skiing and snowboarding.

Used to live in Japan for a long time and I recall my wife mentioned a creature called Kappa sometimes. Anyone who knows anything about the Kappa?
