General Japanese Rice Paddy Painting/from E-Mail
2010.02.16 17:02
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. |

Sunja-nim, unfortunately I cannot see any picture of them.
Probably, I don't have program for that.
I am sorry I missed the chance to look at.
See you next time. -

고문 선생님들의 도움으로 고쳐서 올렸습니다.
논을 화폭으로, 벼이삭을 물감, brush sroke으로
창의력, 인내심, 협동심, 세밀함이 그려 낸 자연 작품에 감탄합니다. -

잉크나 물감없이 다른색갈의 벼품종으로 이런작품을
만들수있다는것이 경이롭습니다.아마도 컴퓨터의 도움이 많았으라 생각됩니다. 규정

Just thank you, thank you, Sungja-nim.
You opened my eyes with exclaiming "Wow'!
I have to say like one book described,
"Japanese are Artisans". I have to agree.
(The book was written by a Chinese-Japanese) -
