The green persimmons placed at the entrance as a motif in the painting are gradually turning yellow.。It's been a rainy day for a while、Perhaps because of this, the temperature has dropped drastically.。yesterday、It's sunny today, but the sun doesn't have the energy it does in summer anymore.、The freshness of autumn has returned for the first time in a year.。
Before I receive this green persimmon、There were already several trees with red persimmons hanging loosely.。Maybe it's a different type of persimmon.。The sweet fruit is also popular in Western Europe.、Production is particularly active in Spain.、It is said to be the second largest producer in the world after China.。
According to Wikipedia, it grows almost throughout Japan from southern Hokkaido to Kyushu.。There is a phrase by Basho Matsuo that says, ``There is no house without a persimmon tree in an old village.''、If you read it as is, it seems to match the description on Wikipedia.、I remember that in the past, persimmons were almost impossible to grow north of Fukushima Prefecture.。The author of ``Oku no Hosomichi'' who traveled through Tohoku may not have seen the limits of production.。
Many people say that persimmons are not persimmons unless they are crunchy.。Hard oysters、The crunchy texture is the life、I guess that means。Because I was raised in a northern country.、I had never seen a real persimmon growing on a tree.。At the time when distribution was poor、There's no way you can get something that crisp.。I've only ever eaten ones that were sweet on the inside and were almost melty.、I thought that was a persimmon。Even now、If anything, I prefer toro to kakikki.。
Sketching is not only watercolor、I use a little acrylic paint as a base.。Don’t just stick to watercolors、You can use anything as long as it works。The effect you are seeing now、I think it would be surprisingly difficult to do it with just watercolors.。
