Sado Photos: Tunnel Art

Many tunnels on Sado feature decorative panels. On the right: 鬼の田植, Demon Planting Rice; opposite: 甘草に変身した鯛(?), The Red Snapper That Turned into a Day Lily. The former refers to a Sado Island folktale, while the day lily, or kanzou, is prolific at the northern tip of Sado in the vicinity of Futatsugame and Onogame.
