Winter Rice Field Art 2016

Winter Rice Field Art 2016
冬の田んぼアート (Fuyu no Tanbo Art)

Feb 12 UPDATE: The new rice field art was completed as scheduled on Feb 11.

Feb 11 UPDATE:
Due to warm weather melting the snow followed by considerable snowfall accumulation, Simon Beck's snow art has been destroyed beyond recovery. Volunteers taught (by Simon Beck) to maintain the artwork will make a different piece in its place. The venue will be lit up as planned on Feb 12-13 and videos of the artwork taken by drone will be played at the venue. (Japanese article about the announcement here)

Snow artist Simon Beck creates geometrical artworks by walking across/around fields of snow in snow shoes. He has traveled all over the world creating snow art works. In 2016 he will create his first piece in Japan right in Aomori Prefecture in Inakadate, the home of rice field art!
