From Pauline. How ingenious! RICE FIELDS OF JAPAN



Fictional warrior Naoe Kanetsugu and his wife Osen appear in fields in the town of Yonezawa , Japan

And over the past few years, other villages have joined in with the plant designs.

Another famous rice paddy art venue is in the town of Yonezawa in the Yamagata prefecture.

This year's design shows the fictional 16th-century samurai warrior Naoe Kanetsugu and his wife, Osen, whose lives feature in television series Tenchijin.

Various artwork has popped up in other rice-farming areas of Japan this year, including designs of deer dancers.

    きっと、今は刈り取られてしまったんでしょうね。
    米沢は雪の便りもある寒いところ、お米も美味しいところなんでしょう^^
