Each year, folks in the town of Chikuzen, Japan, create sculptures out of rice straw to mark the fall harvest. Previously, they made a Godzilla statue. This year, they’ve brought Space Battleship Yamato to life.

According to Nico Nico, the rice straw version is over 54 feet long and at most 15 feet high.
