Art in the rice fields of Japan

This is both amazing and beautiful.

Stunning crop art sprung up across rice fields in Japan. But this was no alien creation - the designs had been cleverly planted.

As summer progressed and the plants shoot up, the detailed artwork begins to emerge.

Here is a time lapse video of rice paddy art as it happens.
