Straw Dinosaurs Appear in Japanese Fields, Try To Eat Humans

Straw Dinosaurs Appear in Japanese Fields, Try To Eat Humans

It’s September. In Japan that means rice is being harvested across the country. It also means straw art.

After the grains are harvested, rice straw (“wara” in Japanese) is left behind. In Niigata Prefecture, however, locals have been turning that rice straw into art with a yearly Wara Art Festival.

Bringing these giant beasts, not all of which are dinosaurs, to life is not easy!

While not a dinosaur, this does appear to be a giant enemy crab.

Twitter user agedashi0210 captures the wonderful detail that goes into each sculpture.

Back in 2013, Kotaku first introduced these festivities, and this year’s straw sculptures are as impressive as ever. Maybe even more so!

Literal Humor for Your Laughing Pleasure

Some of these are obvious, many you might not find funny because they are pretty simple humor, but I hope at least one or two give you a chuckle.  I’m still at home sick with a sinus infection flaring up my asthma so I looked for some funny things…
