What I miss about Japan is what I lost in Japan already. It used to be the basis of Japan that elder people give a favour and take care of younger and vice versa, but not any more. That’s why I left Japan. I myself may be an old type of Japanese, though I am finding much of such a between the lines here in the Philippines. Still I am seriously thinking about making my sister move settle in this country, because she is the only my family in Japan and over 40 still single.Tetsuya Endo

Rice planted in June has grown into a likeness of Himeji Castle. Eight varieties of rice that would sprout in differing colors were used in the 90-by-180-meter rice field in Yumesaki village in Hyogo Prefecture. Designed as a tourist attraction, the castle image can be see from a ropeway on a nearby mountain.

The seedlings were positioned by about 1,100 people dressed in traditional attire. The rice castle image will become imperceptible by mid-September.
