On snowy nights she appears at the door, face pale as if dusted with powder, wearing a torn straw hat and carrying a sake flask. She asks for sake or sweet sake, thanks the giver even for a small portion, and leaves. If refused, she troubles the household with knocking and calls. She blends the idea of a winter visiting deity with eerie folktales, remembered as a figure embodying customs of sharing and proper hospitality.
