Origami: How to fold Capybara-san

Capybara-san is a character which was made from

a motif of Capybara produced in BANPRESTO.

It has been eight years since this character was born,

and it’s been very popular as a heartwarming character which heals our mind!♥

He is usually doing nothing and zoning out except

that he takes onsen (hot springs) or eats grass.

Why don’t you be relaxed, folding these origami!♪
