Japan has recently seen some heavy snowfall, so the Twitter compilation site Togetter.com has made a collection of the coolest snowmen in Japan, as tweeted by netizens. There are eighteen in total, and not a conventional one among them.
Below, you can find an article about the snowmen, and beneath that, the original Togetter compilation. Which snowman is your favourite?
From ITmedia.cp.jp:
Gachapin and a Giant Squid, Unique Snowmen Appear during Heavy Snow in Tokyo Region
Some People Even Tried To Recreate Scenes From ‘Girls und Panzer’ With a Model Tank in the Snow.
On January 14 when heavy snow fell in the Tokyo region, this had various influences, such as disrupting public transportation, and so on. But amidst all that, people who found enjoyment in the snow from the unique snowmen who appeared here and there have been posting online.
A netizen called Gachapin and friend Mukk made a snowman, there was a giant squid snow sculpture that was talked about because of an NHK special, as well as the snowman family from Animal Crossing, all posted on Twitter. I compiled these various creations on Togetter.
There were even people who had tried to recreate episodes 8 and 9 of the anime Girls und Panzer, putting a model of a tank in the snow and taking photographs of it. Photographs of this are compiled on Togetter under the title ‘The Snow Piled Up “Against Pravda!”‘
And then, at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, children played inside the school grounds, and even people skiing appeared; you could even see some making a Landform map of the Tokyo Institute of Technology as a joke.

In Tokyo, a giant squid made of snow is on display. Those who would like to see the real thing, please search through Tokyo — it’s much easier than searching for a giant squid in the deep seas. How long will it be on display? Maybe until it melts, maybe until some brats destroy it. So come soon!

For some reason people have been waiting for it, so I made a snowman this year too. There’s no reason why they should be snowmen anymore http://t.co/jw66HLYD

(The colours are faded somewhat by the pitiful reality of a fully-grown adult having made a snowman alone outside until this time, and the fact that my nose won’t stop running, will someone please shoot me immediately)
