From the UK-based Daily Mail:
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 colours of 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.
The crop art is made entirely out of different types of rice. Who knew?
Thanks to R.K. for the scoop.
Stunning! Thanks for posting.
amazing!
cant believe it is real…..is it?
Good question, Marion. I did my googling best to figure out if this was a hoax.. and from I could find it seems legit. Certainly makes the factory farming of the grain belt look like a missed opportunity for mass zaniness.
beautiful
wow! super awesome!
btw. print club should have an open studio or something like that soon.
Thanks for all the comments, I couldn’t agree more.
BTW Kim, what print club are you referring to? Is there a print club somewhere that we should be covering?
