The Kuro-bokko(くろぼっこ) is a benevolent spirit that is said to reside in the Kurobo or storage room (a shed-like room for storing things, located out side an old style Japanese house) of a happy home(he is sometimes heard but never seen and they are said to help the family in times of trouble).It is said that as long as there is love and harmony in the home this gentle spirit shall always remain.
Here's my Kuro-bokko action figure.I sculpted his head from clay.For the body I used a CTVT Startrek type body(with black boots)which I sculpted(from clay) new hands over the hands and new lower legs over the boots.I made his staff from a wooden chop-stick to which I added some details with clay.I made his straw outfit from Rope/twine.I painted all sculpted parts with accrylic paints and sealed with Mod-podge.
