Look at this picture.
Don’t you think it is beautiful?
This kind of paddies is called “Tanada” which literally means “rice terrace“.
This rice terrace-Tanada occupies about 220,000ha across the country, which means 8% of all the paddy fields in Japan.
The reason why there are so many rice terraces in Japan is quite simple.
Because roughly 70% of the country is covered with mountains.
Therefore, we have had a necessity to cultivate even mountain slopes or valleys.
Go up and up, just like a stairway to heaven.
Rice terrace-Tanada is a heritage that unites the wisdom and efforts of our predecessors.
