Sakurai Mina Idol Papercraft

Sakurai Mina is the twin sister of Sakurai Anna which I posted earlier. She is a moe Idol made to promote Minamata city in Japan.

Mina is a romantic but boyish girl , her birthdate is 16 January and she’s 17 years old. She is half Spanish and Japanese, loves to cook Paella and take pictures with her Leica X1. Wow this girl is very specific in details, the guy who created her profile must be some kind of pervert.

Minamata is a city on the west coast of Kyushu and faces Amakusa islands, located in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan. Minamata was made famous in 1956 of Minamata disease, caused by the release of methyl mercury in the industrial waste water from the Chisso Corporation?s chemical factory.

The disease is a neurological syndrome caused by severe mercury poisoning. Symptoms include ataxia, numbness in the hands and feet, general muscle weakness, narrowing of the field of vision, and damage to hearing and speech. In extreme cases, insanity, paralysis, coma, and death follow within weeks of the onset of symptoms. A congenital form of the disease can also affect foetuses in the womb.
