Rice is probably the most famous export of Snow Country but not content to just grow it, it also becomes a medium for creative expression. Using several different varieties of rice plant, and without the use of any pesticides or fertilizers this picture has been created in a local rice field. The theme for this year's creation was "Daruma" - the lucky doll that is traditionally used for encouragement.
The field is due to be harvested by hand on October 10th and people are welcome to join the fun (meeting in Echigo Yuzawa Station from 10.30 to 11.) The rice is due to be donated to the victims of the earthquake and tsunami in March in Fukushima.
