Glacier Mouse Fur

A warning to arrogant humans from the harsh, cold nature of winter and the animals that live there.
This story came from the dark, cold north, where the ice was shaped like hitodes, kaigetsu, and various sweets.
I'm sure everyone would like to know what happened to those who left Ihatov on the train bound for Bering at 8pm on December 26th. This is the story...

The people's facial expressions, clothing, and winter scenery are depicted in dynamic compositions with plenty of impact.
