  1. #WinterSolstice offerings for Dad & ancestors 🙏❤️ We have a simple home altar in our living room. We have ceremonial incense stations in our kitchen & both the front & back porches too.
    We have no photographs of my matriarch Grandparents nor my patriarch Grandpa - or else they'd be on the wall too.

  2. @niccord 🤣 It's so strange how the harvest of fruit trees can vary from year to year!

    I wish I had that problem - too many #persimmons! I would definitely prove you wrong about those numbers! 😋

  3. One of the last of its kind: an orchard hidden within the urbanity of San Jose. The entire Santa Clara Valley used to be farmland, with vast orchards of nuts, cherries, apricots, avocado, and (here) persimmons. Most of the orchards were paved over decades ago, leaving a few isolated islands that have been rapidly disappearing. Six weeks from now this one will be only a memory, too. 😢

  4. Had some egotrip and drew a bunch of kakis (persimmons) character and I guess now I'm animating them ...
    This one is already available on giphy to use as stickers by searching @kakimoisi or kaki, or persimmon or cannibalism

  5. We had a lovely evening with friends last night and brought dessert. I knew there were some limitations due to allergies, so in the thinking process I chose to go with super simple truffles/mini torte balls. And then @WTL suggested the seasonal favourite homemade Belgian waffles.

    The plated dessert with freshly puréed mango and persimmons and fresh blackberries from our @oddbunchcanada box; the homemade Belgian Waffles and the Sweet Potato Truffle/Torte, topped with some coconut whipped topping provided by our hosts!

  6. "As the persimmons redden, doctors turn a darker shade of blue!"
    柿が色づくと医者が青くなる
    'Kaki ga akaku naru to isha ga aoku ni naru'

    Similar to the English expression 'an apple a day keeps the doctor away', the phrase is also commonly used to express the fine autumn weather.

  7. 🌳PERSIMMONS🐦

    the persimmon's astringent-
    the crow, too, knows
    and passes on
    渋柿と烏も知つて通りけり
    -Kobayashi Issa (小林一茶), 1820.
    Trans. David Lanoue.

    It's at this time of year that we begin to harvest what persimmons the crows, birds and other uninvited guests have graciously left us...😩

  8. Mukai named his hermitage 'Hut of the Fallen Persimmons' (落柿舎 'Rakushisha') in the autumn of 1689.

    40 persimmon trees stood in the cottage grounds, and he sold the fruit in advance to a merchant.
    Shortly before harvesting a storm struck, and Mukai awoke to find the trees stripped. The fruit lay bruised and useless on the ground.

  9. 🌬️HUT OF THE FALLEN PERSIMMONS😮

    A straw raincoat hangs beside the door at Rakushisha (落柿舎), indicating that the host is home.

    The small cottage was home to Mukai Kyorai (向井去来), chief disciple of Matsuo Bashō. It was here Bashō composed 'Saga Nikki' (嵯峨日記) in 1691.
