Crop Circle-The Asian Way

From ground level,the artistic paddies spread out before the inakadate Village pffice building are invisible like those corn circles that crop up in Western Countries.However by scalling a 22-meter-high mock catle tower that's part of village office and overlooks the fields,visitors are rewarded with a view that takes their breath away.and as a boon to the local economy,it's a field of dream as well,with around 150,000 visitors drawn to the village of 8,700 souls in the last few months alone.
The artworks were in the hand of nature as the seedlings began growing in varying hues into Hokusai's famous wave amid Inakadate Village's sea of swaying rice plants.There comes the time when this beautiful art has to be erase when it is harvested,but Inakadate Village officials will began focusing to next year's artistic crop and host seminars at the request of other farming communities around Japan on the practical details of creating rice-paddy art.
When the project first started,they're using markers to determine where to plant each of the different rice varieties.Now they're using software to assist them to calcute the position of dots to draw the picture more precisely.For this year design,they use the image from the famous woodblock prints by Katsushika Hokusai(1760-1849).
But as time went by,the locals horizons widned and the pictures they tried to transform into fields of art become more and more compicated,Not surprisingly,over the years more and more people also began to pay attetion to their extraordinary andavor.
