Persimmon

Japan is a country blessed with nature and a climate with four distinct seasons, but autumn is the season when you can especially feel the change of seasons. As the word ``Nishiki Autumn'' suggests, the leaves and fruits of the trees are dyed with ``Nishiki'', a variety of colors such as yellow, orange, and red, creating an ``elegant'' landscape. However, their appearance shines for just a moment and then disappears, and this ephemerality also highlights the beauty of autumn as the ``awareness'' of things.

Persimmon is a Japanese autumn fruit. There are sweet persimmons and bitter persimmons, and the bitter persimmons become sweet before they fall. For this reason, there are persimmon trees that are not eaten by birds and still have a lot of fruit left in late autumn.
