So what does "雪見" mean? This word is a shortened form of the Japanese word ”雪を見る.'' There are many other things to which the word “雪見'' is attached, such as ”雪見窓”,' which existed in Japanese houses. This is a small window installed in the door of a house to allow people to see the snow. In other words, this is the Japanese style.
