This rice paddy in central Japan is interesting for it's small size and the way it's sides follow the contours of the adjoining hillside. The paddy is only half harvested allowing us to see both the cut stalks laid out on the ground as well as the uncut plants bending under their bounty of grain. It's sights like that which remind me of the changing seasons in a very ancient land.
The following information was provided by my friend and YouTube member "fulcher33":
"Quick Japanese lesson for you and your viewers, Kurt. Using the word "gohan" when talking about rice is referring to it in it's cooked state. Uncooked rice is called "kome". The word "kome" can be used for rice whether it's raw on the stalk like this or in a bag in the supermarket. A lot of times you will here it said as "okome". Either way, with the o or without." (KB)
