 This is based on an article I read recently on the Japan Times website. The article is by Yoko Hani and it is called "Homegrown art ".
Farmers in Inakadate Village in Aomori Prefecture use their rice fields as a huge canvas. The paints are the rice itself and the results are amazing! They achieve their masterpieces by precisely planting four varieties of rice with differently colored leaves. It's seems that this practice is happening every year (have to verify that). This year they have grown reproductions of famous woodblock prints by Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849). I will leave the photos do the talking! Please enjoy and read the full article for more information. You can also visit Inakadate village's official website for more information (in Japanese).
