Snow mounds of Nomura, Nomura

Making snow mounds was a side business for peasants during winter. They piled up snow in 10-meter-high pyramids, covered them with rice husks and straw, and supported them with bamboo poles to preserve them. In summer, they cut out the snow and shipped it to fish merchants and restaurants.
