[MorrendoDeRir.51323] RICE FIELDS IN JAPAN

 <Moomima1@aol.com>

This is so Kool!
Rice fields of Japan  
 
 
Stunning crop art has sprung up across rice fields in Japan ,
but this is no alien creation.  The designs have been cleverly
planted.

Farmers creating the huge displays use no ink or dye.
Instead, different color rice plants have been precisely and
strategically arranged and grown in the  paddy fields. 

As summer progresses and the plants shoot up, the detailed

artwork begins to emerge.
A Sengoku warrior on horseback has been created from hundreds of
thousands of rice plants.  The colors are created by using different varieties. 
This photo was taken in Inakadate , Japan .
Napoleon on horseback can be seen from the skies.
This was created by precision planting and months of planning by villagers
and farmers located in Inkadate , Japan .
Fictional warrior Naoe Kanetsugu and his wife, Osen, whose lives are featured
on the television series Tenchijin, appear in fields in the town of Yonezawa in
the Yamagata prefecture of Japan .

This year, various artwork has popped up in other rice-farming
  areas of Japan ,
including designs of deer dancers.  Smaller works of crop art can be seen in
other rice-farming areas of Japan such as this image of Doraemon and deer
dancers 

The farmers create the murals
  by planting little purple and yellow-leafed
Kodaimai rice along with their local green-leafed Tsugaru, a Roman variety,
to create the colored patterns in the time between planting and harvesting in
September.

The murals in Inakadate cover 15,000 square meters of paddy fields.

From ground level, the designs are invisible, and viewers have to climb the

mock castle tower of the village office to get a glimpse of the  work. 
Closer to the image, the careful placement of the thousands  of rice plants in
the paddy fields can be seen.

Rice-paddy art was started there in 1993 as a local revitalization project, an idea

that grew from meetings of the village committees.  The different varieties of
rice plants grow alongside each other to create the masterpieces.  In the first
nine years, the village office workers and local farmers grew a simple design
of Mount Iwaki every year.  But their ideas grew more complicated and attracted
more attention.

In 2005, agreements between landowners
  allowed the creation of enormous
rice paddy art.  A year later, organizers used computers to precisely plot
planting of the four differently colored rice varieties that bring the images to life.
