Japanese farmers use rice fields to express their art

wave-rice-art We have all heard about the crop circles and seen them on television, in movies, or maybe in real life, but in Japan you can see rice art on the fields. Every year Japanese farmers are planting rice in different patterns and using different sorts of rice for color. The result is spectacular pictures.

    Anyone notice that it is the same field? i would imagine the pictures are from various years.

    I could imagine most of these are photoshopped with the close-ups being a cover for the others. nice spot recognizing it is the same field but gullible you are. who else recognizes some source images?

    It’s not shopped – i saw a 10 minute documentary on this style of art once. I think the one with the samurai was in the video, actually.

    To all those quick to say everything is shopped..

    This is actually real. Maybe if you googled Inakadate in the Aomori prefecture of Japan, you will see for yourselves?

    The economy of Inakadate is heavily dependent on the agriculture of rice and I think they’ve done an amazing and fun job of getting their town on the map.
