The Least Useful Guide to Fukuoka

Long time no see!

When I was a child (the late 1960s and 1970s) of a rural area, Chinese milk vetches were everywhere. They used to be planted in rice fields in order as a kind of fertilizer. But for some reasons that I don’t know, recently they disappeared from the fields. Rice fields tend to be left bare until next batches of rice seedlings are planted.

When I saw them on the way to my weekly shopping, I felt as if I happened to come across my childhood friends smiling at me.
