Toad of Honour?

I think more toad puns are required.

Anyway, a thing I did, playing around with death natatives.

I made a tote bag!! :DD

It's now available in different colours in my Etsy store 🐸

I'm still stocking up my Etsy bit by bit... Currently, I'm still waiting for a delivery of cool stickers and washi tape!

Let me know if you'd be interested in hearing about my process of building my online store-- it's a slow process, especially since I gotta put in money first (even when using dropshipping). It's a little bit daunting, but I'm also excited to finally get it off the ground!

Tenjiku Tokubei riding a giant toad.

Amazing Vintage Illustrations Of Japanese Anthropomorphic Frogs and Toads

The Japanese term “kimo-kawaii” means “cute and ugly,” often describing anthropomorphic frogs and toads in art.

Tenjiku Tokubei (1612-1692) inspired kabuki and literature, portraying him as a spell-caster transforming stones into giant toads. This influenced Kanwatei Onitake, creating Jiraiya, a ninja conjuring phantom frogs. Jiraiya starred in the folk tale Katakiuchi Kidan Jiraiya Monogatari, adapted into kabuki and various media. Matsumoto Hoji, a 19th-century artist, created notable frog woodblocks.

Actor Onoe Tamizô II as Tenjiku Tokubei Artist Utagawa Kunisada I (Toyokuni III) (Japanese, 1786–1864), Publisher Kawaguchiya Uhei (Fukusendô) (Japanese) 1841 (Tenpô 12), 7th month.

Actor Onoe Eizaburo I as a Magician with a Giant Toad Woodblock print.

Jorogumo owns Nurse Toad & Mr B’s Souls.

So, she gave them new names!

Kaeru = Nurse Toad (Meaning Frog in Japanese)

Okami = Mr B (Meaning Wolf in Japanese)

Jorogumo is very childish, giving them cute lil names that they aren’t allowed to change for the rest of their lives 😭They just have to deal with it.
