Simon Beck, a snow artist and English artist, drew snow art at the second rice field art venue in Inakadate (Takahaga, Inakadate Village) in Inakadate in 2016 and 2017 as an application of the winter rice field art venue.

This year, a group of local snow artists, "It's OK.", who acquired the skills of snow art under the guidance of Simon, was in charge. I drew snow art not only at the same venue, but also at Haruka Yume Stadium (Toyota, Hirosaki City).

According to Mr. Masaru Suzuki of the same group, the pattern has a pattern with a snowflake and a star motif in the center and a pattern simulating the Inakan style earthenware on both sides.
