Started in a local village of Inakadate, Japan (600 miles north of Tokyo) sixteen years ago, rice art is a yearly project to revitalize the local economy. Farmers sketch out their designs on computers to help determine where each rice needs to be planted. Murals are created by planting purple and yellow-leafed kodaimai rice along with the green-leafed tsugaru roman variety. A different design is shown each year where more than 15,000 visitors travel to see.
