The story follows a young man who encounters a mysterious snow spirit and is spared on the condition that he never speaks of what he has seen. Years later, after marrying a woman named Yuki, he breaks his promise, leading to a tragic supernatural revelation. The film remains one of Daiei’s most atmospheric late-1960s kaidan productions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1056\" data-end=\"1502\"\u003ePoster design\u003cbr data-start=\"1069\" data-end=\"1072\"\u003eA beautiful and haunting Japanese B2 design, dominated by the enormous spectral eyes of \u003cstrong data-start=\"1160\" data-end=\"1196\"\u003eShiho Fujimura as the Snow Woman\u003c\/strong\u003e above a storm of blowing snow.
