These Giant Straw Dinosaurs Attack Japanese Fields

If harvest gives you rice straw, you make a wara art festival! For the 2015 Festival, the kind people of Niigata even made a dinosaur! The Wara Art Festival, also recognized as Star Art Festival, is held every year near Niigata in the area of the same name, on the 31st of August. This year, the people have built a roaring T-rex, Triceratops, a  giant crab and the dangerous predator of all.
