Cheburashka

K-Lié’s inspiration for this project was derived from 2 inspirations. One from a Russian – Japanese fusion cartoon called Cheburashka, which focuses on the story of a fluffy, agender, big eared, warm hearted and dreamlike being, which is searching for a friend, to connect with during this life. It’s head is elevated on the Tori gate of the Fushimi Inari-taishain Kyoto, Japan, the other inspiration for this project.
