Awakening of Hazagi (Ojiya City) ※"Hazagi" is a tree that hangs and dries rice plant. Niigata

The landscape with "Hazaki" is the original landscape of Japan.
However, even in Niigata Prefecture, the sight of hanging and drying rice plant on "Hazaki" is gradually becoming invisible.
Here Ojiya City has been called the Uonuma region for a long time.
The rice harvested here is called "Uonuma Koshihikari".
In the early spring morning, "Hazaki" was bathed in the spring sun and seemed to wake up from sleep with both hands up.
