It has been decided that this year's annual summer event "Rice Field Art" in Takayama Village will be canceled.

This art, which involves planting different varieties of rice and creating patterns using the different colors of the leaves and stems, has been held since 2009. It was run by eight volunteers, but two of them left last year, and the other members are finding it difficult to continue the activities due to their busy schedules. It is also difficult to secure new members or establish a successor organization, so this year's cancellation will effectively end the project. For the past 16 years, they have entertained many people with their unique designs.
