Do You Wanna Build a Snow Pokemon?
In Japan, the standard snowman design is pretty simple: just two icy spheres stacked up on top of each other. Going to all the trouble of making three balls of snow is seen as the foreign way to do it. That doesn’t mean that Japanese snow sculptors are lazy, though. They just channel their creative energies into making things other than snowmen.

Moving on to another anime icon, working with frozen slush can make sharp angles hard to reproduce, but that’s no problem when your muse is cuddly Studio Ghibli star Totoro.
