The little village makes me think of this Basho haiku:

yogi wa omoshi
go ten ni yuki o
miru ara n

such heavvy quilts
snow in the far country
is surely visible

(wish there was another translation --anyway, monsters are lurking in the far off hills)

smell of good soup--
surely monsters
are hiding in the hills
