Great example of everyday noragi (work clothes, worn by farmers for ex.)​ from Taisho period. Note the makisode sleeve shape, offering freedom of mouvement!
You can see the close-up of the weave, made from asa (bast-fiber like hemp or linen) and kamiyori (twisted paper thread​). Despite its "rugged" materials, weave is delicately interlocked with regular black stripes.
The coat also presents geometrical sashiko (white quilting), both reinforcing easily worn areas (collar, hems, inner center back), and decorating the garment.
PSA for writers: please please please don't put characters doing manual labour in "silk" kimono. I'll be forever grateful ;)

"In a degraded and semi-arid farming area in India, simple science-driven changes to the landscape have colored the horizon, and a village’s fortunes, with green.
In the Latur district in the central western state of Maharashtra, 40 years of erratic rainfall, groundwater depletion, soil erosion, and crop failures have impoverished the local people.
In the village of Matephal, the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) launched a project in 2023 that aimed at addressing these challenges through integrated landscape management and climate-smart farming practices. [Note: Meaning they've achieved this much in just two years!]
Multiple forms of data collection allowed ICRISAT to target precise strategies for each challenge facing the 2,000 or so people in Matephal.

Key interventions focused on three critical areas: water conservation, land enhancement with crop diversification, and soil health improvement. Rainwater harvesting structures recharged groundwater around 1,200 acres, raising water tables by 12 feet and securing reliable irrigation. Farm ponds provided supplemental irrigation, while embanking across 320 acres reduced soil erosion.
Farmers diversified their crops, converting 120 or so acres of previously fallow land into productive farmland with legumes, millets, and vegetables. Horticulture-linked markets for fruits and flowers improved income stability.
Weather monitoring equipment was also installed that actively informed sustainable irrigation practices.
“It is a prime example of how data-driven approaches can address complex agricultural challenges, ensuring interventions are precise and impactful. Matephal village is a model for other semi-arid regions in India and beyond,” said Dr. Stanford Blade, Director General-Interim at ICRISAT.
Farmers actively participated in planning and decision-making, fostering long-term commitment.
“This ICRISAT project improved yields, diversified crops, and boosted incomes. It also spared women from walking over a kilometer for drinking water, now available in the village for people and animals,” said Mr. Govind Hinge of Matephal village.
Looking ahead, ICRISAT writes it wants to use Matephal as a case study to scale these methods across India’s vast and drier average. As Matephal’s fields flourish, the village is a testament to the power of collaboration and science in transforming lives and landscapes."

Фермеры собирают кувшинки в болотистой местности Шапла, недалеко от Барисала, Бангладеш.
Кувшинка -национальный цветок Бангладеша. Они цветут только с августа по ноябрь. Розовые кувшинки покрывают канал и водно-болотные угодья площадью 10 000 акров в деревне, которая расположена в 40 милях от города Барисал. Это место в народе называют Шапларбил (канал кувшинок). Вся деревня занимается выращиванием цветка. Рабочие начинают очень рано утром в 6 утра и работают весь день. Каждый цветок тщательно собирается вручную и перевозится в маленькой деревянной лодке фермеров. Выращивание и сбор кувшинок— это общее дело, и фермеры продают цветы на местных рынках. Их покупают не только за их внешний вид, они также ценятся в традиционной аюрведической терапии за их лечебные свойства.
Farmers pick water lilies in the Shapla wetlands near Barisal, Bangladesh.
The water lily is the national flower of Bangladesh. They bloom only from August to November. Pink water lilies cover a canal and a 10,000-acre wetland in a village located 40 miles from the city of Barisal. The place is popularly called Shaplarbil (water lily canal). The entire village is involved in cultivating the flower. Workers start very early in the morning at 6am and work all day. Each flower is carefully picked by hand and transported in the farmers' small wooden boat. Growing and harvesting the water lilies is a communal endeavor, and the farmers sell the flowers in local markets. They are not only bought for their appearance, they are also prized in traditional Ayurvedic therapy for their medicinal properties.

This farmer couple used silicon to create molds in the shape of their own feet. They then planted turnips using these molds. As the turnips grew, they filled the molds and took on the shape of their feet.
Disney World grows vegetables like this in molds, too.
