Illustration: In the sunny courtyard of a Japanese apartment building, nearly all the winter snow has melted. At the edge of a damp patch sits a small, misshapen snow mound, with two pebble eyes, a fallen carrot, and twig arms gathered around it. These remaining pieces clearly belonged to a much larger snowman.
