Kawamura Issa

Face-up artist(s):

ZennoSaji

Modifications artist(s):

ZennoSaji

Date of acquisition:

2014

Provenance:

The Marketplace.

Reason for choice:

He had the nose and lips I've been wanting for this character, his body was the appropriate size compared to Mikki's, and he was capable of looking soft and gentle.

Best Points:

Quality aside, I love that he doesn't have a ski-slope for a nose.
For such minimal articulation and single jointing, he poses remarkably well!

Worst Points:

The second I got my hands on him, I went to straighten his leg out and it broke at the joint. This is apparently not an uncommon problem with U-Lines.

On a whim and because there was a mold close-out sale, I bought him Illusion Spirit jointed hands and they matched perfectly, nearly.

He's had some sanding done on his top lip and the bridge of his nose, but I'll need to soften the curve of that a bit next time he's wiped.

Eyes:

14mm(?) brown glass with glitter.

Wig:

Some soft light brown fur wig I had received as a freebie.

Favourite colours:

Earth tones. He's a nature boy.

Fashion style(s):

Mori but not to the point where he looks homeless.

Key fashion accessory:

Something knit.

Name story:

My Roleplay partner at the time actually chose his first name and I adopted his character. In-story, he's named after the famous poet.

Character age:

25

Character gender:

Male
