Crop circles are one thing, scientists still argue about their nature and origin, attributing them to traces left by spaceships. But drawings, and even whole pictures in the margins, are completely different. This is a whole art.
This art performance is the work of hardworking farmers in the small Japanese town of Inakadate in Aomori Prefecture, who every year create creative paintings in the rice fields, using a special technique of growing kodaimai rice with slightly purple and yellow flowers, as well as its local green-leaf variety tsugaru-roman with different sowing dates. They have been painting since 1993 and their work can be admired until September, when the harvest time comes and the field again becomes a blank sheet of paper in anticipation of the next masterpiece.
The creativity of talented Japanese is a simple selection of species, you just need to know which rice to sow at what time, which, when grown, will create a stunning visual effect from a bird's eye view. Indeed, the desire to see a lushly growing work of art prompts you to board a balloon, or helicopter, rise high into the sky and contemplate such beauty, as if you were in an art gallery on a guided tour!

Almost all of us, at least a few times in our life, have done something similar to what the artist Simon Beck does, namely, drawings in the snow.
