Origami Karasu-Tengu (Satoshi Kamiya)

            I entered my room and there she was, and said she wanted to be in the Kamikochi-series…….the next minute she was gone….magic in the air………so here she is ;-)))

Folded from two pieces of blue foil 24x24cm. 
Final size height 13cm.

Information found on internet:
""The japanese word 'Karasu' means raven, crow or simply black bird, indicated just group of ravenbirds. 

Tengu himself are not a divinity but also a mystic goblin, half man, half bird, lives in deep forests - like elves or trolls. They are excellent masters of martial arts and in legends they were described as transmitter of budo arts to the man.

The Karasu-tengu (烏 天狗, kraaitengu) or kopa-orkonoha-tengu (木葉 天狗, 木 の 葉 天狗) are the oldest Tengu species. They are already appearing in eighth-century Japanese folklore.

These Tengu most resemble a bird in appearance, although there are also stories in which they have a dog-like appearance. Karasu-tengus can fly as well as walk. Of the two tengi species, the Karasu-tengu are by far the most violent. They are very skilled in the use of weapons and are therefore known as the warriors under the tengu. Furthermore, they are very territorial and can be violent towards anyone who pisses them off. Their anger can become so great that they can even terrorize an entire area, but they can also target certain individuals. Sometimes they share their knowledge about weapons with people. Folktales say some of Japan's best swordsmen were trained by Tengu, including historical hero Minamoto-no-Yoshitsune.

Karasu-tengu can be either male or female.""
