A Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni resident sticks a young rice plant in a rice paddy during a Cultural Adaptation Program rice-planting event in Iwakuni City, Japan, June 10, 2017. The event is held annually in June, after the rice seeds that were sown during April and May are grown and ready to be planted. Giving station residents the opportunity to participate in events like these is part of the Cultural Adaptation Program’s ongoing mission to show Americans Japanese customs and traditions, and allowing them to experience it for themselves.
