雪女 · Chino, Nagano · 1931
The harmless snow spirit who lays felled trees across the valley
What the record says
The yuki-onna here is the spirit-woman of the drifted snow and does no harm. When woodcutters fell a great tree and leave it lying, she may in the night lay it across the valley as a bridge. An old man who said he had seen her described a shadow flickering like a dream.
