Muza-chan's Gate to Japan

Japanese mascots, Kurokan-kun

Mon, July 23, 2018, by Muza-chan
The cute samurai who is the mascot of the Nakatsu castle was inspired by the lord who built the castle, Kuroda Toshitaka, better known as Kuroda Kanbei, hence the name of Kurokan-kun. As expected, he is represented even on the artistic manhole covers of the city.
