Local Mascot Day

中川 貴雄

Since May 11th is "Local Mascot Day",
I decided to come up with a local mascot for my hometown of Gobo City on my own.
Gobo City already has a character named "Miya-chan,"
but what I came up with is based on the legend of Anchin and Kiyohime (if you are curious about the details, please check the link), which is a story passed down at a temple in Gobo City called Dojoji Temple. I designed the character based on the temple bell from that legend.

His name is "Tsuribou."
His head is a temple bell, and he is dressed like a young temple monk, with the setting being that he cleans the temple grounds. The bell monk keeps a fire-breathing snake as a pet, but it seems he is often scolded by the meddlesome snake.

I filmed the creation process and added commentary.

Today's drawing is also for sale on BASE↓
