Rice Paddy Art, called as “Tanbo Art” in Japanese, is a work of art in which gigantic pictures are drawn on the rice field as canvas by mixing different colors of rice plants instead of paint.
Its detailed description and high artistic quality bring a large number of tourists every year.
Rice paddy art began in 1993 when purple and yellow rice plants were used to make a picture of Mt. Iwaki along with letters on rice paddies.
This curious art style, started in a village called Inakadate in Aomori Prefecture drew in so many people, the topic spread all across Japan, Korea and Taiwan.
The main purpose behind the creation was to take advantage of the tradition of manual work in rice cultivation to give people an opportunity to learn more about rice farming and agriculture.
The massive pictures are elaborately designed using perspective drawing methods to make them look their best when seen from the observation platform.
These days there are over 100 locations doing rice paddy art.
