An illustration of a certain scene, common in winter for people from Japan's snowy regions, has garnered a huge response online. While people from these "snow countries" reacted with comments like "You see this all the time" and "I used to ride in one as a kid," those seeing it for the first time were amazed, saying "This is too cute!" and "I never knew this was a thing!" So, what exactly does this scene look like?

The illustration depicts a small child being pulled along a snowy road on a sled. A bundled-up baby sits snugly in the sled, sometimes dozing off peacefully. There's even a drawing of one adorably tumbling over when the sled picks up speed, all captured with a very warm touch.

The social media post has received over 50,000 likes, with numerous comments such as "Seriously adorable," "I can't believe this is real," and "What a lovely illustration."
