I saw this in an e-mail and I had to share…
Stunning crop art has sprung up across rice fields in Japan.
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 shot up, the detailed artwork begins to emerge.
Rice paddy art was started 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.
Wow!…..I don’t really know what else to say about this impressive use of design and ingenuity!
