Shot on 8mm film in 1953, this vintage footage captures a high-angle view of expansive rice paddies in Japan. The terraced fields, filled with water, reflect a soft purple and green hue under overcast light. Small figures of farmers work along the narrow pathways between the paddies, emphasizing the scale of the agricultural landscape. The film exhibits natural grain, slight motion blur, and a dark border typical of home movie footage, offering an authentic glimpse into mid-century rural Japanese farming life.
