Persimmons
Persimmons are orange, a warm color, and display various shades of warmth. As they ripen on the tree, their color deepens from light orange to a rich, almost red hue. In Feng Shui, this deep red represents the Fire element. Additionally, the aforementioned “good luck” is associated with life aspirations such as fame, reputation, family growth, and business success.
While walking in a rural town in Japan, you will see trees laden with persimmons in the yards of homes and temples. This view is nature’s artwork of autumn. The rustic, warm orange of the fruit brings energy to chilly fall days and offers edible delight at the same time! You can feel peaceful Chi flowing around the persimmons and throughout the yard.
Bring persimmons into your home to energize the Chi during gloomy autumn days. At the same time, enjoy their sweet, vibrant fruit while boosting your vitamin C intake. Rich in nutrients and glowing with warm, rustic color, persimmons nourish both body and spirit.
