Wasaku Tatsumichi, right, demonstrates for Pfc. Michael Cancel, left, how to properly plant rice May 4 at Tatsumichi’s rice field in Gotemba, Shizuoka prefecture, Japan. Cancel, along with approximately 20 other Marines assigned to Combined Arms Training Center Camp Fuji, volunteered to help Tatsumichi plant his rice for the spring. The event benefited both Tatsumichi and the Marines because he got his field planted quickly, and the Marines experienced what it is like to be a Japanese rice farmer for the day. Tatsumichi is a member of the Fuji U.S.-Japan Friendship Association and a rice farmer. Cancel is a motor vehicle operator with Headquarters Company, CATC Camp Fuji. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl.
