Yukinbo is the name of an actual yōkai type, of course. There are several snow/ice yōkai types and variations thereof, but my rendition is a rather "inspired by" one rather than an accurate reproduction of the mythical creatures.

Arare (霰) means snow pellet or graupel. Asagi (浅葱) is a shade of cyan, while usu (薄) means pale; usuasagi thus means a light shade of cyan.
