Rice fields of Japan.









Stunning crop art has sprung up across rice fields in Japan , but this is no alien creation.  The designs have been cleverly planted.

Farmers creating the huge displays use no ink or dye.
Instead, different color rice plants have been precisely and strategically arranged and grown in the  paddy fields.

As summer progresses and the plants shoot up, the detailed artwork begins to emerge.

A Sengoku warrior on horseback has been created from hundreds of thousands of rice plants.
The colours are created by using different varieties.

Napoleon on horseback can be seen from the skies.
This was created by precision planting and months of planning by villagers and farmers located in Inkadate , Japan .

Well impressed with that Mike.
I suppose its a bit like pavement art but with this you cant see the results for a few months.
