No doubt you have already had fun building snowmen or other more elaborate sculptures on winter days when a beautiful white coat settles in your garden. Well did you know that a Japanese artist made it his art?

Yukidaruma Shokunin Toshinyan, aka @mokomoko_2015 on Twitter, creates surprising creations so precise and realistic that they resemble large snowy figurines.

Every snowy day, the artist takes the opportunity to exercise his talent and share the results of his masterpieces on social networks.

His favorite theme? It represents characters and creatures from pop culture, from minions to certain iconic Pokémon, including characters from the famous director Hayao Miyazaki such as the famous cat bus from the masterpiece My Neighbor Totoro.
