In 1995, the book won the 26th Kōdansha Literature Culture Award and the 42nd Sankei Children's Literature Culture Award.

But due to the popularity of the story and receiving considerable encouragement, he continued the story through five more books, ending with "Fubuki no Ashita (After the Snowstorm)." As the series became more popular, a compilation called "Shiroiyami no Hate de" was released and a movie adaptation was produced.
