The theme for 2025 of the Koshigaya Rice Field Art event, which is held every summer in Koshigaya City, Saitama Prefecture, has been decided to be the manga "City Hunter."
The rice field art this time features Ryo Saeba and Kaori Makimura from the illustration commemorating the 40th anniversary of the start of the serialization of "City Hunter," and appears as a powerful visual against the rural landscape of Koshigaya.
During the best viewing months, July and August, you can view them from the observation deck of the Higashi Saitama Resource and Environment Association First Factory, which is specially opened to the public.
You can also participate in creating rice field art while actually planting and harvesting rice.
