Flashback to Fuchu




I've been trying to determine the exact moment I starting taking a renewed interest in plants and their cultivation. My folks kept a big garden with a section for me. My ma kept a lot of houseplants and her parents still had a farm we visited throughout my childhood. Despite all this it wasn't until my late 20s in Japan that I really got into it. These photos show one experience I really enjoyed outside of Fuchucho in Hiroshima prefecture at Kouji Uenishi's family farm planting rice one weekend. My skills were not so strong and his kids were leaving me in the dust... or in the muck.
