Summer in Japan means festivals, fireworks and a host of annual events designed to bring people together despite the searing heat. And as the sun beats down on fields across the nation, there's one special rice paddy that's slowly taking shape, transforming into a very unique piece of art ready to greet crowds of adoring admirers over the next two months.

尽管夏日灼热难忍，但在日本夏天意味着节日、烟花以及一系列年度活动，人们相聚一起共同庆祝。纵观烈日炎炎下日本的田野，有这么一处奇怪的稻田慢慢地变化着，渐渐变成一幅独特的画作，准备迎接接下来两个月慕名而来的崇拜者。

 
Rice paddy art has been growing in popularity over the years, with community group members using different strains of rice to create a variety of impressive designs.
 
In Hokkaido, the Japan Agricultural Cooperatives (JA) Kitasorachi-Uryu Youth Group has been working on a very special collaboration1 to celebrate the release of the Hollywood movie Ted2 2. The film's opening date, August 28, coincides with the height of the rice-growing season in Japan, so it's the perfect way to generate some publicity3 for the movie and their town as well.
 
The group began planting their design in June. In July, the fresh, young seedlings4 will bring out a very green Ted, while in August, as the crops ripen5, the talking teddy bear will slowly take on his signature straw-brown colour.
 
In September, Ted will be harvested to feed the people in the region. Before then, he'll be entertaining the many crowds who come to pay him a visit.
