Synopsis

As the first delicate snowflake touches the cold ground, Nyanko-sensei dozes on his hot-water bottle next to Takashi Natsume. While his aunt prepares a warm dinner, Natsume takes a walk, welcoming the snow and the chilly weather. However, his peaceful promenade is disturbed by a white, fluffy snowman yokai with perturbing black eyes, searching for something warm and sparkly. With no further information, Natsume sets off to help find what the spirit desires.

The bond between Nyanko Sensei and Natsume remains strong, with Nyanko Sensei staying beside ...

This specific story is a nice metaphor for humanity's ever-long search for something without knowing what it is they're searching for.

Through this little episode, you get to see the creative way that very thing is talked about, and that's what ...

This is another neat little story from the Natsume Yuujinchou franchise. The whole series is very episodic, with not many status quo changes per season, so it's not too important the order you watch this episode in relation to the rest of season 4. It can fit in anywhere, really.

The youkai of the week this time is a Yuki-onna or snow woman, another common Japanese folktale. The story tackles themes of nostalgia for lost things. The snow woman, in the form of a snow sculpture, is searching desperately for something it's lost. Natsume of course gets involved helping her. There's a pretty obvious parallel to ...
