Rice Production - Charming untitled series published by the Ministry of Education in 1873 depicting the production of rice in Japan. Each woodblock is divided in two, with a scene of farmers working below and a detail of the plant, tools, or finished products in the upper half. The prints were used to help educate students. An interesting and rarely seen education series.
