Hondo Stoat

“Hondo Stoat” belonging to the weasel family, is a carnivorous mammal that inhabits alpine zones from the Chubu, central region of Japan, northward to Aomori Prefecture in Honshu, the main island of Japan. It is lovingly nicknamed “Mountain Fairy,” for its cute appearance, but it is a rare animal classified as, “Near Threatened,” in the Red Data Book.
Two types of paper crafts corresponding to the actual seasonal pelage changes of the Hondo Stoat during the summer and winter can be enjoyed at this web site in the form of downloadable photo images.
There is also a photo of an uncolored Hondo Stoat available for downloading which preserves the unique texture of the paper.
