This is very peaceful scene after hard rice-transplanting. I feel quiet and peaceful atomosphere from shadows of house and trees on the clear water in rice field. Also I feel early summer from his fresh green colors. Truly beautiful colors make warm your hearts and homesick. Truly Japan as we know it.
