  • Cooperative rice harvesting in a local community. A flag with the word of “Danketsu” (meaning cooperative spirit) was flying in the air. Behind them stood the Chisso-Jinnai Apartments.
  • The rice fields have been transformed into a parking lot. There are apartments owned by Chisso in the neighborhood.
