spread to Southern Europe. In the East, having a good rice crop is important, since rice is the

main food source. Long ago Chinese emperors even had a special ceremony for the planting of

rice to ensure a good harvest. In Japan, there is a special god called Inari who is the rice bearer.

Farmers pray to him at shrines all over Japan for good harvest every year.

3. The rice plant needs a high temperature and lots of water. It is usually planted on flat land near

rivers or canals. Generally, the seeds are sown in a nursery first. When they have grown into

seedling, they are transplanted to the rice fields. Rice can also be grown on hillsides.

4. When the plant is ripe, it is cut, and the grain is separated from the stalks of the plant. This is

called, “threshing”. The threshed rice is then cleaned of dirt and leaves. The grain must be dried
