# Rice Paddy

## Visual Elements


Asian farmer’s hat, large in size shaping a wide cone facing downwards with strings dangling down the hat.

## Cultural Context

The non la (leaf hat) or rice paddy hat is a traditional conical hat from East and Southeast Asia, most commonly associated with Vietnam, China, Japan, and Korea. Made from palm leaves or straw, it has been used for centuries by farmers and laborers as protection from sun and rain. The hat has become a widely recognized symbol of Asian agricultural culture and rural life.
