|a Pictures of Rice Cultivation, in Chinese style.
The scenes are showing the essential stages of rice growing: submerging the rice seeds (tanemomi o hitasu種籾浸す), tilling the rice paddy, transplanting the rice seedlings, irrigation, weeding then finally harvesting and threshing the rice to separate grain from chaff.
In Confucian thought, the farming or cultivation of rice is a metaphor for the cultivation of the mind and spirit, but those paintings also pointed out the nobility of the work of rice growers, whose toil provided sustenance for all levels of society. In the social structure of the Edo period (1615-1868), there were four classes: samurai, farmers, artisans and merchants. Farm work was to be venerated as an ideal worthy of emulation. Depictions of rice cultivation are not uncommon in Japanese art. |
