Two esk based on 粘土団子, or nendo dango, which are hand-shaped balls of soil and seeds that are used in environmental restoration projects. Equal parts silly and sentimental characters for me… You can read about the two of them here!
[Long description:
Two little cavy-like nature spirits, Nendo and Dango. Nendo is placid and easy-going, with a quail-like topknot, the red bib of a spotted towhee, and manzanita wrapped around his neck. Dango is thorny and ornery, with angry eyes and a formidable basket claw seedpod straddling his shoulders.]
