    Default Pimp My Rice Paddy!

    Can you imagine the attention to detail? Talk about "Type A" personalities...

    Each year, farmers in the town of 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 — has begun to appear (above). It will be visible until the rice is harvested in September.

    those pictures are amazing. that is some of the most creative and beautiful art I have seen in awhile (other than gorgeous dances and bodies of course).
    I am so glad I saw this thread. I used to study horticulture, this is very inspiring to see.
    What dedication!

    Hapshetsut would slap me for my Asian-philia, but yeah, they do everything better, including horticulture. They Bonsai-tree-d the rice paddy!

    Am I the only one amused by the fact that every year they got more land?

    Must be working!
