Harvested rice produces tons of excess straw--so much, in fact, that the Japanese now transform this farm fodder into glorious works of art. Each fall, Kagawa Prefecture and Niigata Prefecture host "straw art festivals" where artists construct sharks, wooly mammoths, and even whales out of hay. The sculptures are massive: significantly larger than their real-life counterparts. Which makes some of them both very cool and very scary.
