The [[acid]]ic [[soil]] conditions common in Japan due to [[volcano|volcanic]] eruptions have made the paddy field the most productive farming method. Paddy fields are represented by the [[kanji]] {{lang|ja|田}} (commonly read as ''ta'') that has had a strong influence on Japanese culture.

One of the oldest samples of writing in Japan is widely credited to the kanji {{lang|ja|田}} found on pottery at the archaeological site of [[Matsusaka, Mie]] that dates to the late 2nd century.
