In Hokkaido, rape flowers are in full bloom from the middle of May. It's early summer in Honshu around this time! A farming tractor pulls a wagon with tourists in the rape fields that spread all over the hill, disappears once over the hill, and then returns to this side. The sheer size of this scale is what sells.

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.
