RICE FIELDS OF JAPAN … REALLY AMAZING
Looks ordinary enough...... But watch as the rice grows.

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 colour 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 .

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 coloured patterns 
in the time between planting and harvesting in September.

The murals in Inakadate cover 15,000 square meters of paddy fields.

From ground level, 
the designs are invisible, 
and viewers have to climb the mock castle tower of the village office 
to get a glimpse of the  work.

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! 
TRULY A WORK OF ART!!
