The origin and growth of the frost pillars are thought to be determined by both meteorological and soil conditions. This study is divided into three parts: first part analyzes the conditions under which water in the soil is turned into frost pillars; second part studies the conditions under which water is supplied to the base of the frost pillars. Furthermore, the writer hypothesized parameters -meteorological and others- by which the frost pillars are created and formulated an equation that accounts for its growth. In this study, the writer sought to identify the actual conditions under which frost pillars originate and develop. 1) It is generally considered that there must be microscopic particles in soil particles for soil water to be converted into a column of ice. In order to determine the maximum diameter of microscopic particles required for the creation of frost pillars, the writer used samples of Kanto loam containing various sizes of soil particles and several samples, in which each of the samples represented a sample from which particles of a given size had been removed successively-from the largest down to the smallest. These samples were saturated with water and then refrigerated in order to observe the conditions under which frost pillars develop. The result indicated that the soil had to contain soil particles with diameters in the range of 3-5 microns in order to get frost pillars to generate. 2) The physical parameters of the soil was studied in order to learn the conditions under which soil particles supply water to the base of the frost pillars. For this purpose, nine samples of microscopic particles (quartz and sand) -each sample differing in size of diameters, ranging from smallest to largest- and a sample of the Kanto loam, containing microscopic particles of varying diameters, were prepared. These samples were each saturated with a varying amount of water, respectively. And then quartz powder with particle sizes in the range of 1-4 microns were lightly scattered over them. These samples wer
