Pimp My Rice Field

Got sent an email just now about these outstanding rice fields.

Each year, farmers in the town of Inakadate in Aomori prefecture create works of crop art by growing a little purple and yellow-leafed kodaimai rice along with their local green-leafed tsugaru-roman variety. This year’s creation — a pair of grassy reproductions of famous woodblock prints from Hokusai’s 36 Views of Mount Fuji — has begun to appear (above). It will be visible until the rice is harvested in September.

I thought they were edited on computer until I saw these pictures

      Imagine if all the rice fields across Japan did this, not just in Aomori. These photos are amazing, and show the pride that growers take in their work.

      Wow, this is really cool!

      By the way, that message on the field means,

      “Find the adventure of Tsugaru. Life is precious (on the different field).”

      Instereting!
