Catbus (‘Nekobasu’ in Japanese)

is a mysterious huge wild-cat shape creature appearing in Totoro,

which is Japanese film director, Miyasaki Hayao’s representative anime!

 

The scene,

where the fluffy catbus with Satsuki and Mei runs through fields and forests,

looks so awesome!

 

Let’s fold the catbus (Nekobasu) which is just as popular as Totoro!

I showed you how to fold it with two patterns;

one with only a face and the other with a face and a body (bus?)!

If you draw big eyes and a smiling mouth well,

it will look just like a catbus!

 

Try to remember how you felt in your childhood while enjoying origami
