I just got these in an email, and I thought it was brilliant! The 'agri-art' is created by farmers in Inakadate in Japan. From what I can see they just use a few varieties, golden, variegated, purple and the plain green leaved (Tsugaru Roman variety).Apparently the tradition began in 1993, where a simple design of Mount Iwaki was installed every year for 9 years. Then the ideas grew more complicated.
The art covers 15000 square metres of paddy fields.

That is amazing!
So complex and difficult to produce. Maybe our farmers should give it a go?!
Thanks for sharing!

I initially thought that you had been busy since moving on.... those are amazing. I think it pips crop circles particularly as you have to be a little patient to see the results.
Rob, that is so extraordinary... to think of the time and effort, the planning that had to go into that. Wow!
The Japanese have art like this and we have...corn mazes.

Hi Rob,
I've never heard of this kind of planting art! It's wonderful and must be difficult too. Amazing views!
I grow veg on a small scale and stumbled upon your blog whilst searching.
This is incredible, thank you so much for sharing. Wonder when someone in the U.K decides to have a go with this, be a change from the graffiti art in the city or the crop circles.
