One of our member's husband is a member of the self-defense force and every year they do one of the major sculptures for the Sapporo Ice Festival. He arranged for our bus to come into the grounds and also arranged a tour so we could see how these wonderful sculptures are made. He is above with his wife and 2 sons.
Work in progress on the scaffoldings.
Explanations to us about the project. This years project is "Baekje Royal Palace of Korea" It's measurements will be 15 meters high, 24 meters wide and 24 meters deep. It takes 750 six-ton dump truck loads of snow. They are making 50 kinds of blocks for a total of 4,500 blocks. 3,900 people will be working to finish this project from January 6 to February 3.
On the way I snapped probably the most famous photo shot in Sapporo. This clock appears on many of the cookies, candies and other presents you might get from Hokkaido.
