They had to have the necessary qualities of big andstrong men; it was known that they“Teko-Ashigaru” had a lot of anecdotes about verystrong men. In addition, they had maintained the snow cellar "Himuro" situated in the“Gyokusenin-Maru” garden of Kanazawa castle, and were probably technical experts attaking care of the snow-ice stored in the domain. Matters of the “Teko-Ashigaru” and"Himuro" were collected and discussed by using historical documents connected withthe Kaga domain.
