This really looks to me like something the village potter's 2 year old son made, and dad just decided to keep it. Perhaps this is just the fact that I’m not an archaeologist showing.

This artifact is not the head of a Kappa, nor that of a demon, dragon or snake. Rather, it appears to be the fossilized remains of Olly, famed sock puppet co-host of The Sifl & Olly Show that ran on MTV from 1997 to 1999. For more information on Olly, as well as a picture of him with his pal Sifl (Olly is the light-skinned one), check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sifl_and_Olly I’m afraid the archaeologists that made this discovery are mistaken.

Yarigatake. It's a beautiful spot, the initial setting for Ryunosuke Akutagawa's 1927 novel "Kappa." Great for cross-coutnry skiing in winter, though you have to hike in. Local merchants sell bits of worn glass called "kappa tears." You can almost hear the little imps in the Azusa River! I’ve been to Kappabashi in Kamikochi at the foot of Mt. Yarigatake.
