The first of these sculptures was the Snow Hatsune Miku, a mainstay of the Sapporo Snow Festival, with the website for the event showing how the 2021 version, “Yuki Miku Glowing Snow Ver.”, was made, alongside the finished product.
Alongside them, more construction reports of snow sculptures will be uploaded to the website of the Snow Festival during the same time period.
The first two videos show a snow event from April 2020, and footage of the first few snow festivals from the 1950s!
