Browsing around Japan using Google maps I came across this village where they use a peculiar system to name the different rice fields. One single hiragana, katakana or kanji is used for each different field. I have only seen this naming system in this town, but maybe it is more usual than I think. Can somebody englighten us?
The art using rice fields is maybe a little bit more interesting than this boring maps plenty of Japanese characters.
