At the 1998 Winter Olympic Games in Nagano, Japan, the official mascots Sukki, Nokki, Lekki and Tsukki represented the four natural elements—fire, air, earth and water. Known collectively as ‘the Snowlets’, their owl forms symbolised wisdom, while their number reflected the four-year Olympic cycle.
