Young Blonde Girl With A Snowman Outside In The Winter
|
Snowmen are usually built with two spheres in East Asia. In Japan, they are called yuki daruma (雪だるま yuki daruma) after the round shape of the Daruma doll.
History
History failed to document the building of the first snowman. However, Bob Eckstein, author of The History of the Snowman documented snowmen from medieval times, by researching artistic depictions in European museums, art galleries, and libraries. The earliest documentation he found was a marginal illustration from a work titled Book of Hours from 1380, found in Koninklijke Bibliotheek, in The Hague
