Background Story and Meaning of the Name

OSHA’s name is inspired by the Japanese word “押忍” (pronounced “O-sha”), a term often used in martial arts that conveys respect, perseverance, and readiness. This fits OSHA’s character perfectly, as he embodies both playful energy and a respectful demeanor.

In his magical realm, OSHA is known for his dual nature. When not observed by humans, he is a playful and curious companion, often following his owner and engaging in light-hearted antics. However, the moment he senses human eyes upon him, he transforms into a ceramic figure, standing still and silent, a guardian of tradition and tranquility.

The name “OSHA” also has a mythical connection in Japanese folklore. It is said that kilnspawn like OSHA are protectors of artisans and their crafts. They bring luck and creativity to those who work with clay and fire, embodying the spirit of the ancient Japanese kilns where master potters have honed their skills for centuries.

Thus, OSHA serves as a delightful reminder of the balance between playfulness and respect, embodying the essence of perseverance and tradition while adding a touch of whimsical charm to his owner’s life.
