Very nice. Except growing an image of the Mona Lisa is clearly in violation of international copyrice law.

[...] Cool art created in rice fields by careful planting of different types of rice. The designs are well executed and must take a lot of careful planning to make sure that they are planted at the right time, and that they are legible once sown. The results are great, but ephemeral. [...]

Estos japoneses no hayan que hacer, en serio…
Solo hace falta que hagan “arte” con la mierda que cagan! XD
Eso si seria muy creativo y raro al mismo tiempo, aunque el olor que habria…

Must take an incredible amount of planning to make sure that color is in exact position. just STUPENDOUS and INCREDIBLE!!!! I can’t even draw a straight line with paper and pencil……
January 19th, 2008 at 10:01 pm
en mi paÃs el arte está desconectado de la producción y decir en voz alta que la estética y la expresión artÃstica se relacionan con el arte, provoca risas; y darme con estas cosas me llena de satisfacción y placer
solo hay que proponerse

sugoiiiii

REALISTIC ….. AMAZING!!!
Wow ! This is a very unique art of the Japanese. This is my first time seiing a rice field with that particular design plus Japanese characters. I even think that I can’t write those because its so difficult. How did they did that! With complete evidences?! whoah! This makes me a lot more interested of the Japanese culture because I loved it from the start, really!
arigatou gozaimashita! minnasama , okarada o taisetsu ni.
GANBATTE KUDASAI ! TAIHEN DESU’ NE! SUGOII !!!

Evidently the talent was there at the start, but was looking for a new avenue to explore.
The precise geometry and patience, of laying out the rice, to produce such exquisite designs, is a testament to the patience, drive, and fortitude of human beings.
Congratulations to the groups of people that did this spectacular communal work!
May 31st, 2009 at 8:12 pm
Wow, amazing planning and nurturing needed for that art! And you would have to wait to see if worked out.
September 5th, 2009 at 1:57 am
Simply AMAZING. But, I cannot help but ask: Is there any difference in the TASTE of the rice?
September 30th, 2009 at 6:52 am
Actually, that’s a pretty horrible photoshop job. The perspective is WAY Off on most of those images.
October 2nd, 2009 at 8:44 am
Surprising that they created a simple rice field

These are amazing works of art. I can’t imagine the time and patience it took to do this. Most enjoyable.
February 3rd, 2010 at 4:25 pm
This shit is fake.
February 6th, 2010 at 10:36 am
dude, this is totally awesome. I think that it would take some hard work to make pictures like that with rice plants though. I hope the people who own the ricefields get payed for this, but if they don’t, well then they’re pretty cool for doing that for the heck of it. :~) rock on rice field dudes

Remarkable work of art!

Cool,, A what impressive field arts of talented Japanese, involved a lot of compassion. Very excitement enjoy it !!
March 31st, 2010 at 5:26 am
The first image is Japanese theater related, the next pictures that show the stages ends up being a famous woodblock painting by an artist named Hokusai (my favorite artist actually!), the words in the wave rice field say “Inakadate” (name of the area) and “Let’s protect life” and after that is the Japanese God of Thunder, Kaminari, then some warriors fighting with some uchiwa fans around them, then a Buddha-type figure with some uchiwa fans around his head and, as you know, the Mona Lisa.
This is some amazing stuff. Wow. Even when they’re planting you can faintly see the designs that the rice ends up being. This must take a lot of planning, coordination, and cooperation.
I wonder if they do eat the rice. Blue rice, green rice, black rice, yellow-green rice…wow! If they use it for meals, that’s a colorful meal you would have there.

It is a must in Chile countryside where you can see the farms (grain, grapes, horts) from the hills and can be used as an identity process for small communities
