Interesting facts

The Snow Woman is a 1968 Japanese fantasy horror film directed by Tokuzō Tanaka and produced by Daiei Film. The film is an expanded adaptation of the Yuki-onna short story as it appeared in the 1904 collection Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Things by Lafcadio Hearn.

Production

The snowy exterior scenes were all shot on a studio sound stage at Daiei-Tokyo Studios as opposed to on location. This was done to provide an eery, unnatural feel.
