I am so in love with RICE FARMER KITA so let me scream about why it ties in so nicely with what we know of him! (1/7)
End results are no more than a byproduct. There are few jobs where this principle holds true as much as in farming. Your harvest& #39;s quality is a direct consequence of how you handle crops even before they showed any sign of becoming anything (2/7)
I think a good contrast to this is Kenma, whose schtick is strategy and optimization. Kenma usually modifies whatever process exists to maximize gains with minimal cost/effort. Hence his post-TS position. (3/7)
Farming takes a lot of skill and knowledge. Some of it is the conscious type you can learn from say, a book, but some of it is knowledge that has to be so innate it borders on intuition--and it can only be so deeply ingrained through repetition and diligence. (4/7)
an aside: rice is a pretty complex crop! you& #39;d have to be on top of your field& #39;s irrigation system and nutrient content at every stage. and of course be diligent enough to complete all the steps required to harvest it http://ricepedia.org/rice-as-a-crop/how-is-rice-grown">https://ricepedia.org/rice-as-a...

"Adulation and recognition mean nothing to him. He simply does what needs to be done." Rice farming isn& #39;t going to put you on a 30 under 30 list. But what could be more necessary than the profession that produces Japan& #39;s staple carbohydrate? Where else would Kita be? (6/7)
