The Beauty of Snow
Wednesday December 17, 2008
There are some areas that have a lot of snow in Japan. Nagano hosted the Winter Olympics in 1998. Skiing and snowboarding is quite popular, especially among young people. Since my hometown, Kobe, doesn’t have much snow, I always get excited when it snows. There is a Japanese word, "yukigeshou," which means, "to be covered by a blanket of snow". It is written with the kanji characters for "yuki (snow)" and "geshou/keshou (makeup)". I think snow is so beautiful, and it does completely change familiar scenery.
