Rice Paddy Art

The news recently showcased a photo of rice paddy art and I thought it was incredible. Farmers using different types of rice make fantastic images in their fields.

The trend was started in 1993 in Japan with complex designs pre-planned on computers. 700 people work to plant the different types of rice needed for each design.  Larger designs can span multiple fields and the farmers work together to make the designed rice quilt images.
