Abstract

We can seldom see the snow flakes at Fushimi in south part of Kyoto city, where it is not so cold in winter as northern part of Japan.<BR>I don't know any observer of snow crystals in Kyoto except Toshitsura Doi Ooinokami, who was once Kyoto Shoshidai (chief attaché to Tokugawa Shogunate government at metropolice of Kyoto) and described Sekkazusetsu and Zoku Sekkazusetsu (Illustrations of flowery shapes of snow crystals vol. I and vol. II) in which contained 23 pieces of Snow crystals of Kyoto in 18371838.<BR>I depicted to observe shapes of snow crystals at Kyoto in snowy days as dilettante scientist several years ago. In winter 1963, we had heavy snow, so I could bind variety types of snow crystals especially in Feb. 8, prisms, columns, combinations of columns and plates, shapes of tables or lrullets which were very rare in this district, and in Feb. 14, dendritic crystals or fern stellar crystals which were very beautiful, etc.<BR>In 1964. I could not observe special shapes of crystals.
