ART and RICE FIELD FARMING

Look at the ordinary start to an Artistic grown up crop. 






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 of rice plants, whose leaves grow in certain colours. 
This photo was taken in Inakadate , Japan  

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 the planting of four  differently colored rice varieties that bring the images to  life.
