Snow Maiden was a spirit who appeared as a lone woman in a pale kimono, untouched by the cold, voice raised in sad song, seemingly lost or wandering. Some believe they were the ghosts of human beings who died in the snowdrifts of the Isawa Mori. Others believed they were a kind of weather yōkai. Although snow maidens were rarely malicious, they were dangerous nonetheless, for they were always surrounded by frigid cold and snowy conditions. When angered, these gentle snowfalls grew into blizzards. [1]
