Japanese have been marvelling at the quality of the latest tanbo (rice field) art, with designs more intricate and complex than ever.
Tanbo art boasts an ancient history dating all the way back to 1993, when Touhoku farmers discovered the secret of planting different strains of rice so as to use their fields as gigantic canvases.
Typical themes for tanbo art are scenes from traditional Japanese art, but everything from advertising to cartoon characters also feature, and recent fields have seen a surge in “ganbarou” messages of post-quake encouragement.

I give 10/10 for these arts. It’s better than “destroyed farm by alien”
If only we could moe-ify it…nuhuhuhu
anyway awesome scenery
oh come on now, a lot of these are obvious fakes.
many of them are the same field over and over with different images in the crops. how many are we supposed to believe they have made since the quake? unless they are spraying the plants with dye that washes off, there’s no way.
several are even the same photo. EXACT same photo, cut up and given different images in the rice. uh, wow, your photoshop is impressive anyway.
congrast to the real ones, absolutely inspirational!
congrats, even.
wow, Japan. Just wow.
All we need now is one field with Pedobear xD
