Japanese Rice Paddy Painting


THE FIRST PICTURE IS JUST THE BEGINNING...

SCROLL DOWN AND SEE THE PATTY EVOLVE!

















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.





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.
