In the village of Inakadate, where the main activity is rice farming, rice farmers have become artists. To increase tourism in the village, they decided to use 7 types of rice plants to create images in their fields.

Using a small piece of software, they converted 7-color drawings into planting diagrams.

Today, this rice-field art has fully earned its place in Japanese culture and becomes more precise each year.
