Why only two mounds, you ask?
The West is more used to seeing three-mound snowmen, but there may be a reason why Japanese ones only have two. The Japanese word for snowman is yukidaruma, which literally translates as 鈥渟now daruma.鈥� A daruma is a type of little, round, wooden, or papier m芒ch茅 doll, closely linked to Buddhist practice and often used as a token of good luck. Legend has it that the doll represents a Buddhist monk called Bodhidharma, who meditated for nine years sitting down, atrophying his legs鈥攚hich is why the doll is round.

OK, why are we telling you this story?
Early to medieval Japanese woodblock paintings have depicted two-mound snow sculptures resembling daruma, which suggests a link between Japanese two-mounded snowmen to the legend of Bodhidharma.
