"Sawajiri's Terraced Rice Fields" in Marumori Towns, Miyagi Prefecture Masonry, which is rare in Tohoku, is a historic terraced rice field that was developed from the Edo period to the Showa period. It has been selected as one of the "100 Best Terraced Rice Fields in Japan" and was certified as a "Tsunagu Terraced Rice Heritage" by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries in the 4th year of Reiwa. I hope that we will always be able to see the original scenery of Japan, which has such a long history.

Rice fields in Niimi City, Okayama Prefecture. It is not rezoned, and it is not possible to mow all of it with a combine, so I mow it by hand. The children also mobilize to harvest rice with all three generations of relatives. It is also accustomed to use a sickle to reap, and two bunches are reaped in one pull. The harvested rice is bundled up and hung on a bamboo pole. The children are smiling and happily helping from beginning to end. Rice, delicious! And I eat a lot. Along with the scenery, I would like to preserve this traditional culture.

The golden rice terraces that make you feel the arrival of autumn are just about to be harvested. This is a terraced rice field protected in an area called "Kitaura Safety Temple" that spreads out in the mountainous area of Oga City, Akita Prefecture. Beyond the terraced rice fields, you can see the mountains of the "Three Mountains of Oga (Mayama, Motoyama, and Mt. Momu)", and clean spring water flows from the mountains, moistening the terraced rice fields and producing delicious rice. I'm looking forward to the delicious rice~.

The Ryujin centipede, which has just been registered as a new species in Okinawa, It is the largest centipede in Japan country. Jade-colored paws are characteristic. Centipedes have a strong image of being ferocious, but the individuals I met were at least mild-mannered. They are known to be strong mothers and continue to raise their offspring born from eggs for a while. In addition, if you are in a good mood, it will clean your sense of touch, so it is easy to understand the feeling. If you're hungry, you'll be in a bad mood, so watch out :)

Photographed on 2023.04.09 at Oyama Senmaida, Kamogawa City, Chiba Prefecture. I wanted to experience something spring-like scenery, so I went to Chiba Prefecture to see the water mirror of the terraced rice fields. You can only see the clean water mirror for a limited period of time until the farmer plants the rice. It is no exaggeration to say that this is a spring tradition. When the sky deep in the mountains begins to light and the water surface of the terraced rice fields begins to receive the light of the sky, morning finally begins for the animals. The chirping of birds and the chirping of frogs can be heard more actively. "There are still dark shadows in the visible world, but morning is certainly approaching." I wanted to convey such an atmosphere through photographs, so I captured the gentle rotation of light in the darkness.
