This is me planting rice wit the ichinensei. I guess this is their way of teaching the students about traditional Japanese livelyhoods, but they seemed a lot more interested in throwing mud at each other and did a really terrible job planting rice. You can see in this picture how uneven the rows are. It seems as if a lot of people actually do this for a living still, or at least to supplement another non-lucrative career, because there are plenty of rice fields all over Koshigaya, right between the buildings. If I owned a vacant lot though, I would turn it into a parking lot though, because parking is so expensive here and people who own parking lots must be making a fortune. If I had some startup capital right now, I would become Koshigaya's parking lot magnate.
