Mnemonic

Put a rice paddy together with other paddies and you'll see how much they differ. When you're driving or taking a train through the countryside it may seem like all of those rice paddies blurring together are all the same, but they can differ quite a bit!

Try to picture how each rice paddy differs from the next. Can you think of any differences in the ones you've seen?

Mnemonic

To see how rice paddies differ, you need an eagle's (い) eye view. It can be hard to see from the ground, so soar up into the sky like an eagle and look down at the rice paddies together.

Aha! As an eagle you can easily see that all of the rice paddies have differing colors, shapes, and (if you fly low) smells. They differ a lot!
