Rice Paddy Art

“Farmers paint a storybook across the fields, best read from a library.”

Beautiful Scenery

Every year, a kind of natural art called rice paddy art spreads out on the east side of Kagamiishi Station on the Tohoku Main Line, JR East, in Kagamiishi-machi, Fukushima Prefecture. The effort was started in 2012 under the concept of "picture books viewed from the window - another library." In fact, visitors can view the rice paddy art from the observation room on the 4th floor of the local library. The best time to see it is in July and August, and during that time lots of people visit to see the sprawling agricultural art.
