Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda has received a special gift from Hokkaido:

It’s a snowman! It was sent by the town of Abira, to encourage Noda, who used a snowman metaphor in his election victory speech:

“Managing a government is like pushing a snowball up a hill in order to make a snowman,” Noda said. “We cannot have any more infighting, as this is like the snowball falling back down the hill and just getting heavier.”
“We must pull together to push the snowball back up the hill for the sake of the public. Together, with all of you, I will work so that the people of Japan will not regret choosing us as the ruling party of Japan,” said Noda.

It’s also great publicity for the town. Abira has branded itself as Japan’s best snowman town, and for the last 25 years, its local tourism association has been selling mail order snowmen (4,000 to 5,000 yen each). The town also has a “Snowman” post office, decked out with a snowman-shaped mailbox and a giant rooftop snowman:
