A farmer guides an ox-drawn plow through a muddy rice paddy in Japan, 1953. The man, wearing a light shirt and dark pants, steers the wooden plow as the ox pulls it through the wet earth. The scene unfolds in a rural landscape with flooded fields and distant golden harvests under a hazy sky. Shot on 8mm film, the footage captures the labor-intensive agricultural practices of mid-century Japan with authentic grain and color saturation.
