Origami: How to fold Funasy

‘Funasy’ lives in Funabashi, Chiba in Japan!★

He is a local costumed mascot character with a motif of pear,

which is a specialty of Funabashi.

Being set up as a ‘pear’s fairy’,

he’s been so popular with his unique way of talking;

putting ‘nasy’ at the end of each sentence!♥

This character is unofficial from the city,

which is rare among all the Yuru Chara (cute, cuddly, and sometimes bizarre mascot).

 Let’s fold such a freewheeling ‘Funasy’ with origami paper♪
