Persimmon, a name that resonates with history and nature's bounties. From the legendary racehorse Persimmon, known for its remarkable speed and agility on the tracks, to Edwards Persimmon, the victor of Derby in 1896; this fruit has left an indelible mark. In 1911, Persimmon became more than just a racehorse or a mere fruit branch; it symbolized Edward VII's glorious racing victories. And who would have thought that these delightful persimmons would find their way into my backyard? Nature truly surprises us. Artists like Hokusai captured the beauty of persimmons in their works - Moon, Persimmon and Grasshopper showcasing the harmony between nature's elements. Even as far back as c. 1400, Tacuinum sanitatis depicted persimmons in Codex granatensis - a testament to its enduring appeal. From Hong Kong Island to Sao Paulo in Brazil, persimmons grace fruit stalls with their vibrant hues and irresistible sweetness. Their presence adds vibrancy to Peel Street in Soho or brings joy to locals wandering through markets in South America. Utagawa Hiroshige II immortalized Japanese white-eye birds perched amidst ripe persimmons while Suzuki Harunobu painted scenes of people picking these luscious fruits centuries ago. These artworks remind us of our timeless connection with nature's gifts, and are not merely fruits but symbols of triumphs on racetracks and inspirations for artists throughout history. Whether they adorn art pieces or tantalize taste buds at local markets worldwide, one thing is certain - persimmons hold an allure that transcends time and borders.
