“It’s September. In Japan that means rice is being harvested across the country. It also means straw art.
After the grains are harvested, rice straw (“wara” in Japanese) is left behind. In Niigata Prefecture, however, locals have been turning that rice straw into art with a yearly Wara Art Festival.
Bringing these giant beasts, not all of which are dinosaurs, to life is not easy!”
