John’s Oddities: Nakazawa’s Fuu

I’ll be the first person to admit that my collection of anime merchandise & memorabilia is neither the largest nor the most valuable. I collect what I like (when I can afford to) and have a particular fondness for unusual and novel items. These items aren’t necessarily rare or valuable; they’re just odd and unexpected, from a non-Japanese perspective. I’ll share some of them, one per day, in case anyone else finds these collectors’ items fascinating.

Samurai Champloo character designer Kazuto Nakazawa drew this postcard sized sketch of Fuu for me at the 2006 Otakon convention.
