Japanese rice paddy art: Rice farmers in Inakadate, Japan have created field-sized works of art that feature images of the Mona Lisa and Ukiyoe works by 18th-century masters Sharaku (L) and Utamaro. Best viewed now through mid-August, the fields are created using purple and yellow varieties of rice. More images at the Inakadate village website.

I'm not sure, but I think I already said that I think that this rice paddy art is brilliant. If not, now you know!
