PADDY FIELD ART FROM JAPAN

The Great Wave of Kanagawa is a major feature in this year's rice field exhibition in Japan

More than 8,000 villagers help create the works. In 2006, the gods of Fujin and Raijin.
Reproductions of 18th century works have also been created.
The tradition in the town of Inakadate, dates back to 1993.
But other have now joined in. This was the work created in Yonezawa this year.
And they created paddy field artwork in Yonezawa in 2006.
While in Nishio, in the Aichi prefecture, people have been creating an insect theme.
A dragonfly was created in 2005 and a beetle in 2006.

We all contribute to the beauty of the world in our own way.

Amazing stuff! On par with the Mona Lisa created in Australia (if I'm not mistaken) - I'll google it and see if I can find a pic to show you. Have you ever seen some of the 3D pavement drawings? I'll google that too, brb.

Autumn Storm said...

Just remembered it wasn't the Mona Lisa, but Van Gogh's Sunflowers.

Autumn Storm said...

Well, after all that, I cannot find the Sunflowers, but copy and paste the following to view some amazing 3D pavement drawings.
