Rice farmers in Japan have managed to engineer giant detailed murals grown from varying colors of rice plants. It’s a story about how a village lacking a tourist attraction invented a process of growing pictures in rice fields. The farmer who discovered the process figured out how to seed different colors of plants to create the images. The image above, of a samurai battling and warrior monk, was created by workers planting varying colored rice plants according to a computer generated map. Computer planning has been recently introduced to help the accuracy and prevent distortions.
