These Murals Were Grown from Rice

- In the village of Inakadate, Japan, elaborate expanses of “rice paddy art” grace the surrounding landscape. Looking for a way to boost tourism and contribute to the village’s rich culture, town officials turned to what they knew best - growing rice. Using dozens of varieties of rice as their color palette, locals gather to plant each new masterpiece, taking inspiration from local geography and Japanese folklore. With each image taking up to three months to complete, it truly takes a village.

Japan should have its own planet
You'll see anime everywhere
ماهر استريح، "كوكب اليابان" ترا كثر ما عندهم اشياء حلوة و زينة عندهم عادات و تصرفات قبيحة جدً
That would be a planet I'd love to visit.
That'll be really isolated though
Jason Kim Its actually super easy to get a citizenship there, you have personal assistants walking you through every step, in my opinion it is one of the easiest countries to get a citizenship for.
Take that aliens, where's your crop circles now.
This remind me of something in indonesian
Don't offend or taut aliens, they might only take u away to their planets and do hand labour's of making crop circles, karmas
Fucking funny hahaha
Bro Bone we have nothing like that here just random vandalism on the walls
bro bone that indonesian crop circle was in my neighbourhood XD
the officials then create a simple computer mockup
*elaborate dragon design pops up*
Just love how you can clearly see the love devotion and pride into this work... I love Japanese people as they're humble, very smart and I like how they would always live their life into the motto they believe in most of this motto are about being humble and to spread love or how close knit their community are.... they are why I have change into a better person their stories from either anime or dramas it captivates my heart so much so that I would put in to my life what ever I learnt and spread it to others thanks Japan💋
That is Japan for you
Too bad you're not entirely right. This the mindset of rural Japanese citizens, but in the city, it's a totally different story.
You admire Shintoism, which is a highly aesthetic, ritualised religion that is the bedrock of Japanese society. Look into it if you'd like to get a deeper understanding of where these attitudes come from
The Yakuza disagrees with you
I never knew there were so many different coloured rice plants. It's amazing how the designs got more n more intricate over the years
It's, like, if you practice something, you can get better at it!
They paint the plant
Japan is all about Kaizen; ongoing improvement in pursuit of perfection as nothing is ever good enough! That humbleness is a key to their success.
why am I crying? It's just so beautiful. You can see how close and tight the town people are.
reminds me of my own hometown
i m tearing up too, lol
"A simple computer mockup"
*DOESN'T LOOK SIMPLE TO ME*
imagine what complex design looks to them
Very beautiful & innovative. It would be quite the treat to behold
Japanese culture is truly one of the best to come out of humanity. It’s at the cutting edge of modernity while preserving its deep roots and rich history. Despite being one of the most devastated regions in the world during the last century, a lot more so than many of today’s troubled regions, they have fully recovered and even prospered to an unprecedented degree. I know China serves as the role model for the developing world but Japan should too.
To be fair they still are a tad xenophobic
Demond Wilson
I've lived in Japan for many years now, and I can tell you that's complete bullshit. Don't blindly believe everything you read on the internet. If you want to see real xenophobia, look to your own backyard.
+fireaza xenophobic as in the alien xenemorf?
Yea its beautiful
With the kamikaze plane with blood and mud
Abdulmohsen Aldamk
Related root word, but not the same. "Xeno" is greek for "strange/foreign", so "xenophobia" would be "a fear of foreign" while "xenomorph" would be "strange form".
if the Aliens had seen this Japanese version of crop-circles, they would have packed their suitcase, headed down and left the earth in shame!!!
LOL
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Japanese never fail to amaze me....
everything in japan is so beautiful, so clean, so unique...
bloody hell, i cant even draw a simple human on a paper
Amazing from aerial view
日本人は器用だよね
It’s no surprise that this beauty and art is in Japan. Wonderful as always!
The design with Orochi and Susano should be VERY familiar to fans of the game Okami!
fireaza I Love Okami!!
Jumbo-J1 too many ee´s
fireaza Yep
Oh yeS INDEED VERY FAMILIAR
We need to do this with corn!
I loved how their solution to their problem had a lot of positives and no off-setting negatives.
Nice work on the subtitles.

Love this channel. Never stop!
I love japan n japanese people.I have personally learnt a lot from them.😊
I love this channel. I just love it!!
The level of dedication is inspiring. I've been to Japan tons of times and never knew this existed till now. I'm definitely going to see this in person some day (been looking for interesting places outside of big cities like Tokyo/Kyoto since those are the places I always visit).
So nice! Thanks for sharing!
Amazing. This blew my mind. Hope to see this place one day.
O think Yosakoi Soran would be a great story.
Yosakoi is a traditional Japanese dance where a group expresses the ancients movements of fishing, waves, planting and their force.
The biggest festival have groups with more than 300 dancers it’s amazing
This is a link of one group form this year Yosakoi festival ua-cam.com/video/c23jkyh2lfw/v-deo.html
how amazing is this!!
I would love to visit. You can feel the love and pride they have for their hometown. 💕❤️
I will probably never know this if this channel didnt upload this. Great work GBS!
This is truly amazing! Incredibly breath taking! They have crop circles in the West and here in Asia we have this. Hooray Japan.
Japanese perfection
It's so intricate and beautiful 😊
Another story, another place to see added to my bucket list
Wish we had a mayor like that.

The field with Momotaro is really pretty
Awesome Piece of art guys. Who All are watching this in Sept 2k17?
awesome
i swear i want to take a year and travel this is amazing
Here's a tip, Great Big Story. When the images change, it's expected that the captions change with them. Trying to watch the images and read along is confusing, like watching a video where the audio is out of sync. It's a bad technique.
thats amazing!
A whole new meaning to playing with your food
This is so cool
Amazing
根気仕事の結果がコレ！ホント凄いわ！
Wow beautiful 😍
Amazing. Reminds me of Art Attack :)
wow, instead of crop circle, amazing art

This is definitely the hardest challenge on art
Holy crap, that is epic!
good idea
I love japan this is one reason
Who dislike? Shame on you
North Korea

AMAZING
In merica' we make crop designs with corn mazes, but this is way more cool
Orochi and Susano! I learned that from Okami!
I wonder if they can harvest the rice afterwards.
I wonder if they harvest the rice after the season is over. That bowl of rice would be amazing after all that work.
Wow !!!
After the quarantine, you must absolutely make a Super Mario and a Sonic The Hedgehog !!!
Japan is so clean.... >_>
Better than crazy ufos. This is cool
I recognised Momotaro in the thumbnail!
there's something similar in spain with flowers.
I wonder if the rice is harvested for food and, if so, how on Earth do they do that?? Fascinating, this.
Spiral Journey they just harvest and separate the rice i guess, still alot of work
Being a vice mayor simultaneously he is very talented
How do they harvest the rice? Do they separate or call it mixed rice?
Japan is out of this world
2:15 YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I want to do this too. 👀❤️
Is that princess Di's mural at 3:08 ?
great
Ohhh, so that’s why Kobuyasu played Momotaro 😮
2:39 Momotaro?
02:32 the momotaro boy reminds me about koro-sensei. nurufufufu I miss koro-sensei orz
Wow
Momotaro? I only know of him from the song by Kom_I with the same title.
how do they harvest it?
The guy drew with a mouse. A TABLE FLIPPING *MOUSE*
holy rice, this is beautiful
