Grand horticultural designs

Crop circles and other large scale anomalies have been long attributed to supernatural causes.These gigantic rice field canvases couldn’t possibly raise suspicions of paranormal involvement.

They are the product of meticulous horticultural genius of the people of the village Japanese of Inakadate.

The creators use computer software to plan the images before the local villagers and volunteers plant yellow- and purple-leaved rice varieties, which will then grow in their own, naturally distinctive colours.

The results speak for themselves – even despite the conceptual conundrum that is the subject matter (Napoleon vs. a Sengoku warrior) the sheer scope and level of detail make them a site to behold, and have for dinner once harvest season arrives.
