Souichiro Tomioka was an artist from Niigata Prefecture who took inspiration from the snowscapes of Snow Country and other areas. He gained international recognition and now has a permanent exhibition close to Hakkai san. His works capture the bleak beauty of the area and will be familiar to anyone who has spent time in SnowCountry during the winter months. His simple style appeals to many and it is a rare visitor who doesn't leave with some memento of his work from the gift shop. Highly recommended.
