In Japan, every Fall since 2008, Niigata’s farming community celebrates the annual rice harvest by making huge, beastly sculptures from leftover rice-straw (known as “wara”), including gigantic gorillas, lions, crocodiles, rhinoceroses, wild ox, etc. Every year, the festival’s organizers invite art students from the local Musashino Art University to turn recycled rice straw into works of art in Uwasekigata Park.
