Each year, farmers in the town of Inakadate in Aomori prefecture create works of crop art by growing a little purple and yellow-leafed kodaimai rice along with their local green-leafed tsugaru-roman variety. This year's creation -- a pair of grassy reproductions of famous woodblock prints from Hokusai's 36 Views of Mount Fuji -- has begun to appear. It will be visible until the rice is harvested in September.


We'll have no claims of Photoshopping here, this stuff is real. The second and third photos here are the same location, but in previous years.
