Shirahime-Syo: Snow Goddess Tales (白姫抄, Shirahimeshō?) is a manga anthology created by Clamp, a creative team made up by Satsuki Igarashi, Ageha Ohkawa, Tsubaki Nekoi and Mokona.
The volume contains three tragic stories framed by the legend of Shirahime (“white princess”), a sad goddess whose tears are said to be the snow. Shirahime might have been inspired by the Japanese legend of the “snow woman”, Yuki Onna.
Shirahime-Syo was released by Kobunsha in 1992, and re-released by Kadokawa Shoten in 2001.
