      THE LEE

    Mongolians have a tradition of hanging a felt fox over a baby’s crib, believing that the fox protects babies from evil because it is a cunning animal. The Lee snow sculpture depicts a fox protecting a little boy from a blizzard as a mountain, a home to stay warm in, and a loving mother. We hope the peacefully sleeping fox and boy under the softly snowing Sapporo sky will bring peace to the audience.

      THE GREAT FAIRY TALE HUNTER

    The sculpture depicts a unique character from a Polish fairy tale - Mr. Kleks, sitting on the rim of a teapot and fishing out of a cup (probably filled with ink) a smiling moon for all to see. The jug and cup come from the most famous Polish ceramics factory - in Bolesławiec. Fairy tales are the most charming, beautiful manifestation of our common culture.
