Photographs Of Japan’s ‘Rice Paddy Art’ Amazes Netizens

Netizens are amazed by a new trend in rural Japan, known as “rice paddy art”.
“Rice paddy art” is large-scale art made using different strains of rice plants to create a picture that is often viewed from above, requiring a huge effort to co-ordinate and maintain the fields.
The art is becoming so popular, that apparently there are now specific bus tours for tourists eager to catch a glimpse of these magnum opuses.





It is quite surprising that no chemicals are used as colouring agents, since the pictures and words are created using the colourful leaves and ears of grain of ancient strains of rice in purple, yellow, green, red and so on.
