. Tajimi Jones, a friend on facebook .
She lives in Tajimi and shares a lot of the Kappa and other lore of the region.
Look at her Jizo Bosatsu, Kannon Bosatsu, Fudo Myo-O and more.

Tajimi is kappa country.
They are everywhere you might expect and just as many places as you would not expect;
such as, peering at you from behind a jar at a local bus stop.
Thank you, Tajimi Jones!
In Tajimi,Kappa are never feared but instead are regarded as celebrated members of the community - honored, revered, and loved.
Here are "Kappa Papa" and "Kappa Mama" plus the latest additions to their family, at the train station in Tajimi-shi.
