Now it is after Golden Week and the rainy season has come. It is also the time for the rice planting. There are many small rice fields or tanbo in the cho. First the fields are tilled and the rice plants are started, usually under small plastic tents to protect them. You can see the young rice plants before planting above. Then the fields are flooded and planted with the rice seedlings. Normally this is done now with small mechanized planters rather than the traditional hand planting. We will follow the changing of the seasons with photos from the same field.
