Rice is one of the staple food consumed by the human population and in Japan, farmers from Inakadate create rice field art by using  different rice to form various arts. The procedure of preparing till the day that the field is ready for harvest is not a 1-2weeks thing but rather, months. Credits to t2rest in Vr-zone forums who contributed the news, I went to source out more this rice art and found this very nice website about it. Click here to check it out
