A bright day in International University of Japan (IUJ). Thank you Professor Anjula Gurtoo and Professor N. S. Cooray for inviting me.
Uonuma and Minami Uonuma areas are famous for top class Japanese rice brand Koshi-hikari (魚沼コシヒカリ). Wanted to see the rice field in those areas for long time. Added was the great view of a rice terrace (棚田). And the weather was great with blue sky.
