Details

A story of devotion, fate and cucumbers. With the body of a tortoise, the head of a monkey, limbs that are lined with scales and a cavity in the top of its head containing a curious fluid said to be the source of its power, the Kappa lives in lakes and rivers awaiting its prey. A voyage through ancient stories seen through the eyes of Japan's most mysterious of creatures, which feed on cucumbers and blood.
