for the fun
Posted by akarui (Kagoshima, Japan) on 29 June 2008 in Lifestyle & Culture.
In Japan planting rice is done mainly with tractors but here we can see rice planting by hand. It is half for fun and half to show to the young generation the traditional way of planting rice.
Thank you very much for all your comments.
You can see the same picture in bigger size and better resolution on my new blog.

The commentary is very helpful. It is nice to know that the younger generation is encouraged to experience the source of their staple food.

Great shot and great composition. I like how the rice field in the background adds depth and character to this shot.

Lovely greens, and a lovely moment you've captured. It's important for all of us to learn how hard farmers work to make our food.
