I was born in 1963, and had been brought up in my teens, in a country town in Niigata Plain famous for its paddy production: NiitsuCity, which was consolidated into NiigataCity in March 2005, Niigata Prefecture, Japan.
NiitsuCity was formerly famous both as a former oil-rich town and as an important junction of three main rail lines, as well.
I've ever been inspired by the interrelationships between the productive agricultural, industrial and commercial activities, and the seemingly idyllic countryscape, which have developed over Niigata's towns and countryside.
