<p>Japanese <a href="http://www.jbfchina2008.com/tag/culture">culture</a> raised the talent to remodel things to an art, as we demonstrated the ikebana and origami. Therefore, this great city could not resist this art and created a new concept of ice sculptures and snow, the Yuki Matsuri, the Sapporo Snow Festival. The city has managed to create their own winter festival, where every year thousands of people come together to view and create magnificent sculptures of snow and ice. One of the most popular and famous sculptures at the festival is the Pieta, which creates its own glow of snow and ice. Other sculptures repeated each year are the statues of famous people and places that shine in the snow. Some of these sculptures are so big that tour groups may enter quietly in a palace made of ice, and see statues of characters from the television. To this curious display are used more than 38,000 tons of snow and ice. The festival dates back to 1950, and other sculptors work for several weeks to create thousands of objects of ice before the festival begins in February.</p>
<p>In this curious city, full of all the possible sculptures made of snow and ice, a stroll through its vast parks and enjoy various winter sports.

One of the most important concert halls is the Concert Hall Kitara in Sapporo which is in the Nakajima Park, where the orchestra usually performs in the city. For the most massive concerts outdoors, as the Pacific Music Festival, is the Sapporo Artpark.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.jbfchina2008.com/tag/museums">Museums</a> also are an important part of the culture of the city.
