If You Are Lucky Enough To Live In Or Be In Japan,

and can travel,


for the months of September and October you can enjoy the sight of the Gyoda rice paddies of Saitama prefecture, photographs courtesy of the Gyoda City Tourism Association,

as it happens we have mentioned rice art like this before,

this year in Gyoda, Mount Fuji with large waves by Edo period artist Katsushika Hokusai and a powerful kabuki actor are dynamically displayed,

this work is expressed using perspective, and if you look at it from the ground, you’ll only see an ordinary rice paddy, the artwork reveals itself only from the 50-meter high observatory of the Ancient Lotus Hall in the city’s Ancient Lotus Village park, here is the exact location, it almost seems a shame to harvest it!
