I have reenacted the world of Saiyuki in my piece.
This Sonny Angel is supposed to be the monk Sanzo Hoshi while his pig and monkey companions are character designs from the Little Animals series created by the brand Ratako. Since the kappa is a fictional creature, the kappa design of Sanzo Hoshi’s bag is a cute touch.
