Memo: rice field
For Japanese people, there are always rice fields in the countryside.
Rice fields are so close to us that we don’t know much about them.
I’ll look it up.
Since when are rice fields?
We Japanese generally refer to paddy rice.
It was introduced to Japan about 3000 years ago.
It is said that it had spread throughout Japan by about 2000 years ago.
It has quite a long history.
It would be no exaggeration to call this a Japanese landscape.
how much rice can be harvested
If you look at a rice field during harvest time, you will see a large number of rice plants growing there.
But how much can you actually collect?
Looking at the data for Reiwa 3, it seems that the average weight for 10 ares is 535 kg.
1 are is 100 square meters, so 10 are is 1000 square meters.
It is approximately 31m x 31m. 31m is the length of 3 buses.
It seems that a large amount of rice can be harvested in a surprisingly small area.
It’s a surprise.
How much rice does one person need?
There is an old Japanese unit that expresses the amount of rice that one adult eats in one year.
It is called 1 koku. This refers to 150 kg of rice.
Calculate the area required per person.
To harvest 150 kg of rice, a 2.8 are rice field is required.
150kg×10a/535kg=2.8a
2.8 are is 280 square meters.
To support one person, a rice field approximately 17m x 17m in size is required.
I feel like I can take care of it if it’s this big.
Rice cultivation may also be recommended for a slow solo lifestyle.
