“CERRITO is a cryptic creature whose legend was born in South America and expanded worldwide. Nobody knows exactly what it is… CERRITO has the power to change its look depending on the place of appearance and the mood of the occasional witness. CERRITO just “appears, smiles and disappears” never showing up again, but generating an epiphany to whoever encounters it, changing his life forever…”
After a long gestation process, countless subtle design modifications, some production tests, many cups of coffee and several litres of beer, Argentinian based artist César Zanardi is proud to reveal that the first edition of his debut sofubi CERRITO is finally ready! Originally seeing various incarnations in resin, the mythical creature features a simple 2-part design with articulation in the neck, with this debut release seeing the little fella cast in both “Jade” and “Terracotta” coloured soft vinyl with matching rub. Currently available at One-Up’s Akihabra and Nakano stores for just 3,000yen ($25), international orders can be placed through the online store right here…
