Himeji Castle appears on rice field

YUMESAKI, Japan - An image of world heritage-designated Himeji Castle, created from the leaves and ears of six different rice varieties in a rice field in Yumesaki, Hyogo Prefecture, is clearly seen on Sept. 13, 2009. The castle, together with Princess Sen (L, top), granddaughter of Edo Shogunate founder Tokugawa Ieyasu, can be observed until the rice is reaped in early October. About 1,500 students and volunteers helped plant rice seedlings in June under a farmer's project in the hope of drawing tourists.
