Let me post haiku about 'Snow Fairy （雪女）(yuki onna)'.
According to Edo Period(1603-1867) folk legend, the yuki onna(snow woman) is the apparition of a beautiful, but terrifyingly seductive lady who mysteriously appeares only when it snows.
After the storm passes, her victims are often found dead. She is thought to be a form of deity of the New Year who visits people at the end of the year.

吹き荒ぶ旅の道連れ雪女
Fukisusabu tabi no michi zure yuki onna
Candles lit
where does she blow to
snow fairy
灯火にどこに吹かるる雪女
Tomoshibi ni dokoni fukaruru yuki onna
