【Preparing for Rice Planting – From Seedlings to Fields】
June marks the start of rice planting season in Japan. But before we plant, we begin with 育苗 (ikubyo) — growing rice seedlings in trays or greenhouses. Tiny seeds are carefully nurtured until they become strong, healthy seedlings.
Meanwhile, the rice paddies are prepared—flooded and leveled—ready for planting.
Soon, these young seedlings will be moved from trays to fields in the traditional process of 田植え (taue).
