Rice field art in the country of the rising sun. Each year these guys make new images on their field by planting rice in different patterns making various images. They use different sorts of rice for color. The result is amazing as you can see. It’s a pity they only last as long as it’s time to harvest the rice.
Absolutely speechless. It must take a lot of effort to produce such things.
That’s really amazing!
Indeed very amazing.
In your face, Rembrandt!
Having lived in Japan for ten years I got to see this up close. Lost of planning time.
Thats one hell of a way to play with your food. Those people are excellent perfectionists.
These are pretty impressive! I’d never seen anything like it before; intersting post.
That’s so cool, definitely beats the grain circles we have some making here
.
jajaj you are a liar ..i know enaught of photoshop to realise that you have touched the image…jejejej its all fake jaja check out images 12 and 13 they are the same… the same place….diferent images diferent perspective jjjaja liar
wonder if you could google earth this to find it…. Where did you say the town was???

I want to see this on Google Earth

Wow, that is truly amazing!. Must take a lot of skill and planning
That’s incredible, anyone know where in Japan these are? I’d like to see if they’re visible on Google Earth!
Wo!
How much time do these slant-eyes have that they can waste so much on their major food source? You don’t see us Americans growing corn like this! Shouldn’t they be designing the next Playstation or something?
Is it real? not edited with PS?
joe you need to shut the hell up
Crazy, who thinks these things up? Well, they’re “cool” if a little bored. Wonder what next years will be?

That’s because you’re all dumbass hicks who find it hard enough to grow the corn in the first place. These guys mastered it, then got bored with doing it so well that they turned it into an art form.
Goddamn yankee sonofabitch.

And you are in a whole different league of dumb, pictures 12 and 13 are pictures of the same place but they are two completely different pictures taken at different times of the year, probably even of different years.
If you think you can spot a photoshop because two completely seperate pictures are shown at the same time, you have no idea how to use or identify works of photoshop.
Goddamn retards everywhere.

On a lighter note, this is amazing and a great way to combine art and agriculture.
Good job on the pictures.
amazing what you can do with photoshop
ha ha they r crazy nd kool *lol* thinks hw much u can achieve wit a photoshop!:)
so much effort and love going into the planting of the rice has to produce many benifets beyond pleasing the eye
thank (whatever you believe in ) for art that joe mama isn’t running the nea – or the world for that matter. wait a minute…
i don’t care if it’s real rice or ps it’s beautiful fascinating and inspriational–go japan–you rule the (art) waves!
but to all you way provincial hicks–get out from under your haystacks! we ‘bored/lazy’–aka Creative americans DO do useless wonderful playful art agriculture like corn mazes and spiral jetties! educate yrself young man!
and while your at it go to holland in tulip time, particularly queens day april 30 where you’ll see tulip mosaics, or even better, ‘gene davis’ striped tulip paintings fields–long!
Inakadate, Japan is the town.

i would say, amazing what photoshop can do with us ..
all u bastards its an art appretate it fuckin joe son of a bitch
It’s not Photoshop.
It is red rice and white rice planted in the fields of a Japanese township called Inakadate.
I haven’t been there myself although a friend of mine has and took photos. (they were taken closer to the ground though so it was more of a puzzle to figure out the image.)
PS or not the pictures and and fields are very well made and thought out
Jesus Christ, how pathetic is it that anytime someone sees something amazing on the internet, they automatically scream, “PHOTOSHOP!!!1!!!!!11!”
Seriously, people. You can’t even appreciate a fantastic work of art without trying to act like a hipster douchebag. This is a perfect example of everything that is wrong with the world today.
Not everybody thinks equally and if this way out the world would be bored, I think that this is very cool
That background makes me eyes go funni
That was great! How do they manage to do this? Its wonderful
This is fantastic

That says it all.
And Jill, I agree. Why can’t we just have minds that are a little more open? Even if you insist that the pictures have been photoshopped, the most they can do is edit the contrast so that the colors are more visible – you can’t edit a whole field! Especially if it’s on Google Earth.
Great!!! Fantastic!!
Prachtvolle Photi.Ich hab noch nie so ein Kunststück gesehen.

Mate, this is wonderful, the whole idea is great…
Very subjective; in the respect that from close up it would look as if the Japanese have just randomly planted the rice wherever… But when looking at the rice from a distance, it forms an image.
Although this ‘idea’ has been used before, with flowers etc… The idea of planting rice like this seems original.
Also, get out of here people that think that someone has used photoshop to produce these compositions.
hahaha !
Go do a tutorial.
hehehe Asia rule:)
I think people want to be the first to shout “Photoshop!” Or else they just have no imagination or wonder. They are also the little bastards who go to school and tell all the other kids that there is no such thing as Santa.
Joe, Americans from all over are embarrassed about people like you. You are the type of person that make all the rest of us look like idiots to the world.
wow, simply amazing. i wonder how did you think to do that.
Weehoooo what an art of something so special like RICE…. cheers!
wooooohoooooooo these are the shit!
Very nice.
Very creative.
Nicely done
Wow! Looks like fun to me!
Amazing work. can anyone knowing teach us this art near mumbai india/

:]
I googled the town. It’s not photoshop! google “Inakadate”. lots of pictures and info!
HOLY CRAP
that would take like years to do
i wouldn’t have that much patience
AMAZING
absolutely amazing what people can create without using anything but their minds and organizational skills.
YEAH YEAH, WHATEVER.. YOU SHOULD SEE THE WAY CHEWIE AND I WIRED UP THE FALCON! THATS SOME ART!! LooL361
makes me hungry
This is awesome. At first I thought it was photoshopped, but it looks pretty real to me. Reminds me of crop circles…
-Brad
Wow, that’s amazing! I’m just surprised they have the room to grow rice on that little island
man, these people are geniuses!
how could they always come up with the most breath taking stuff, is beyond me!
This is so creative and a wonderful expression of art.
Carolyn
Brillant stuff.. This is creativity is all about
woow :O nice:D
BEAUTIFUL AND BRILLANT!!!!!
Amazing! If it were not for the multiple photos, I don’t know if I would believe it.
those are absolutely fabulous. adding to del.icio.us and stumbleupon !
That’s really cool!
Could be photoshopped. I ahven’t found them on google Earth and I have gone over the country side several times. I finally found the fields and the buildings matched but no depictions. It was said that it took them several hundred people to create them and several days work of planting to just get a few fields planting. Crop circles are formed in an instant, the legitimate ones. The fakes look like fakes and the real ones are something quite different. There are several videos of small metallic and non-metallic orbs or UFO’s that fly over the wheat fields and create crop circles in seconds.
wow, It’s very amazing!
