Description
A thirtieth untitled print by Hiyoshi Mamoru. His treatment of the snowman subject alongside more ethnographically serious subjects like Korean totem poles and traditional farming practices reflects the breadth of his interest in ordinary Japanese social life: not only its labor and communal activities, but also its pleasures and seasonal games. The snowman, built by children for the pleasure of building it and watched by adults with nostalgic warmth, belongs to the same world of community and shared experience as the market scene and the rain-shelter scene.
