Taue （Rice Planting)
I went Mashiko yesterday. Mashiko is the mecca of pottery in Tochigi.
World famous Hamada Shoji put Mashiko on the global map. I will write about Mashiko Crockery Festival which is on during Golden Week Holiday season, next time.
Taue season has just started. Rice is produced by farmers average age over 64 years old. We can see a lot of young people working on the site in rice planting. Why?
I think I can answer the question. Children who work at urban cities come back to their places of origin in Golden Week Holiday period to help their parents who are quite old.
They don’t think they succeed to their parents because of the Japanese Rice Cropping will no longer making money. Our government can not afford to give such a huge amount of subsidy any more. Free Trade and Trans Pacific Partnership things are the farmers biggest headache.
