Stumbled upon these laughing, frog-like origami creatures by Joseph Wu:
Joseph Wu's Origami Warai
A professional origami artist who hails from Vancouver, Wu calls these amazingly expressive, adorable, little figures Warai, which means “laughter” in Japanese.
Here are a few of my favorites:
A Red Warai Waving Happily
A Green Warai With Open Arms
A Very Happy Blue Warai
More Of These Happy Fellows
Awesome!

Alright, I admit it: I bought this Totoro plush for myself the other day…
He’s even got a little bag of acorns slung over his shoulder…
Too cute.
If you haven’t already guessed, I’m a big fan of Hayao Miyazaki’s work; My Neighbor Totoro happens to be my all-time favorite, with Nausicaä Of The Valley Of The Wind and Spirited Away rounding out my top three Miyazaki films.
