Rice Planting (taue)

I took Rachel on a crazy adventure with me to go rice planting! This activity involves wading knee deep in muddy water and sinking well past our ankles in mud while planting little stalks of rice into the mud. A very unique and wonderful experience! Although I found out about the event from Japanese students on Doshisha campus, there were mostly Japanese families there with lots of children. It was great to see how the families interact and participate in a family oriented event. They prepared us a delicious vegetarian lunch as well. A good morning.
