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.

I traveled to Tsugaru. It is a rice field art that I happened to encounter in Nakadate Village near Hirosaki. This year's theme is "The Fence of Monse" by Shiko Munakata and "Girl with a Pearl Earring" by Vermeer. It was splendid under the autumn sky of Tsugaru.

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 :)

In Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture, you can see Mt. Fuji reflected beautifully even after rice planting, but the picture is slightly distorted by the surface tension on the rice. After all, the aim is a short period before rice planting.

It is the season of rice planting. The state of the substitution scraping before planting seedlings. When the rice fields are filled with water and the weather is good and there is little wind, the rice fields become like a lake, reflecting the scenery like a mirror. It is a superb view that can only be seen for a few days.

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.

I found it when I went through an old road that was different from usual ✿ I stopped and pashari ♪

This photo was taken in a rice field near "Oedo Onsen Monogatari Nagayama" in Katayamazu Onsen, Ishikawa Prefecture. When water is poured into the rice fields, it becomes a large water mirror and the reflection is really beautiful. I discovered it while walking, so I took a picture of it.

In the morning when the cold wave came, snow that falls only a few times a year accumulated, and the terraced rice fields became a silver world.

When I first heard about shirakawago in 2015 from then had dream to visit this place someday. Finally my dream come true and today I visited the most picture perfect and iconic village of Japan. I feel an unexplainable joy and time goes very fast to enjoy the beauty. The beautiful and unique gassho-zukuri village on a pre-autumn rainy morning. The traditional house, the rice fields, cosmos flowers, the green mountains and the alleys of pines what else we need to see. The whole atmosphere is so beautiful.
