Thanks to everyone's support, we have safely completed this year's rice harvest!

The sake rice that has grown is very tall—when we measured it, it was about 130cm! We harvested it, with everyone getting buried in the stalks🌾 The rice paddy feels a bit lonely now that it's completely harvested. And amazingly, a rainbow appeared over the paddy today! Look forward to this year's sacred water festive decorations!!

Thanks to everyone's support, we have safely completed this year's rice harvest!

The ridges have been neatly trimmed, and preparations are coming along nicely ☺️

While we are concerned about the weather, the person overseeing the rice paddies believes it should be manageable, so we will proceed with the rice harvest as scheduled on Saturday, September 12th. We plan to begin around 9:00 AM. It is expected to be extremely hot. 🫠 According to the weather forecast, rain in this area should clear by tomorrow afternoon, and Saturday is predicted to reach as high as 31°C. ☀️
