Rice Fields in green waves




Since planting in end of April, rice plants have been growing favorably. They will soon open flowers with strong smell expecting good harvest in autumn.

             
          
                                          
This type of stone gate is called "torii", standing on the entrance of a divine area in Japan. This gate was made of tuff 200 years ago. 

This is a wheat flour cracker baked with black sesame only with salt, no sugar. I enjoy the delicious taste, drinking a cup of green tea.

  2. So many photos I have seen from Japan seem to contrast the ancient, like the torii gate, with the immemorial, like the green rice.

  3. 稻米田一片绿油油看起来很舒服,不知道稻米成熟的时候是怎样的一片美景~
    我比较喜欢吃咸食,我觉得这样的饼通常只要撒上少许盐添加风味就很好吃了~

  5. Hi Jan
    I also hope giant typhoons will never attack Japan so that we can enjoy good harvest.

    Hi Jim
    When we come into rural areas, we can find some monuments related to ancient times.
