Organic Art
Okay, stick with me here, my Japanese isn’t that good so I am stealing my information from another site, but this was pretty cool so I wanted to post it.
Inakadate, Japan is the home to about 8,000 residents who have worked together since 1993 to produce intricate art in their rice field.
Each year they have a different theme for the fields and use different varieties of rice to create pictures of black, green and yellow. The images stretch over multiple fields and are planted to show their images at different times during the season.
This year the farmers are using the green phase of the rice cultivation to depict motifs of Hokusai’s 36 views of Mount Fuji.
You can see more of the pictures of the fields (and brush up on your Japanese) at their website (or at ;east a website devoted to their work) here.
