The slowly falling foliage and Fahrenheit may well hint that autumn is well and truly upon us, but possibly an even more significant symbol is the harvesting of this year’s rice crop.
A decidedly tiresome-looking task that this old fella in western Tokyo looks like he’s tackled way too many times to remember.
And considering the legendary longevity of the Japanese, his laborious efforts in the fields will more than likely continue for many more years to come.

great shots. its cool to get some action shots of rice harvesting. its allot different looking as apposed to being rapped around my sushi for lunch one a month.
Another immensely interesting set of images. An excellent reminder of what it takes to produce food.
