Cute "Dumplings"


Back in October I posted some photos of a few of the Jun Kaneko sculptures that are currently scattered all around the Desert Botanical Garden. I only posted the Heads and the Raccoon Dogs (Tanuki).  I didn't show you this group of colorful shapes..  The name for these shapes is "Dango" which in Japanese means "dumpling".  I like the whimsical way they are painted, especially those with the stripes and dots.

  1. They are cute and I think "whimsical" is the perfect way to describe them.

  4. Love these colourfully patterned 'dumplings' Sharon, although dumplings didn't really jump into my head when I saw them 😀
