Japan: The Ancient Rice Fields - Hardcover
From the first green shoots of Spring to the almost microscopic rice flowers of summer, and from the sculptured rows of drying rice straw after harvest, to the snow-blanketed terraces of winter, Hymas shows us every aspect of the cycle of life. This book is a celebration of a way of life that has continued unchanged for two thousand years. In Japan, rice paddies are the source not just of food, but history, language and culture. As a photographer the authors passion for the ever-changing beauty of the rice fields is obvious, but he also takes the reader on a journey through the history and traditions of rice-growing in Japan - a culture which is now threatened by a rising tide of concrete and technology.
