Rice art

This is art on a grand scale:

Come up with a design, plant different varieties of rice for color, and photograph the results from a plane. Info on these things is at the Inakadate, Aomori CIR’s website. Cool stuff . . . Nazca for the rice-paddy set. (Here’s what got made in 2006.)

• About Peter Durfee

  I'm a translator and editor in Tokyo, where I first came in 1985. I graduated from the American School in Japan and majored in Japanese at UC Berkeley. Now I'm stuck here! It's all right though; I have a wonderful wife and the cutest baby girl on the planet to keep me company. More info on the About page, or you can write me with all your questions.
