" Every year since 1993, the people of Inakadate, Japan have grown elaborate designs in their rice fields to draw tourists to their small village in Aomori prefecture. While American corn mazes and crop circles are made by cutting patterns into existing fields, Japanese rice field art is created by planting different colors of rice so that it slowly grows into a work of art. Pretty amazing, right? Every year Inakadate features a different design in its rice fields. Inspiration is pulled from everything from Hollywood\u2026           #GoneWiththeWind #Ricefieldart #\u98A8\u3068\u3068\u3082\u306B\u53BB\u308A\u306C A photo posted by koni (@koni2miyu) on Jul 22, 2015 at 11:37am PDT               The things you find in the country... #ricefieldart#aomori A photo posted by stylisticsjapan.com (@stylisticsjapan) on Aug 5, 2015 at 6:50pm PDT     \u2026to video games           \u57FC\u7389\u30FB\u884C\u7530\u306E\u7530\u3093\u307C\u30A2\u30FC\u30C8&#127912;&#128396;#ricefield #ricefieldart #gyoda #gyodacity #dragonquest #\u7530\u3093\u307C #\u7530\u3093\u307C\u30A2\u30FC\u30C8#\u57FC\u7389 #\u884C\u7530 #\u884C\u7530\u5E02 #\u30C9\u30E9\u30B4\u30F3\u30AF\u30A8\u30B9\u30C8 A photo posted by SO (@popo_lop) on Aug 15, 2016 at 8:31am PDT     \u2026and traditional Japanese art and culture.
