‘Barcelona’ by Nicolau Raurich, c. 1909

 

In addition to the wonderful nourishment provided by perrismon, pumpkin, peach and tangerine they also gift a rich array of colour tones that have auspicious implications in the East, especially for the persimmon and the peach. Baked pumpkin is recomended in Japanese macrobiotic healing, dried tangerine peel, peaches and pear are suggested in traditional Chinese medicine and oranges are a mainstay for good health. The presence of  amber, orange and ochre colours always acts as a panacea for uplifting the spirit.

 The persimmon is the national fruit of Japan and has been a major part of Japanese traditional food culture for hundreds of years. The persimmon tree  reguarily appears in temples and shrines in Japan, symbolic of the Earth Element.  Japanese culture has celebrated these delicious, heavenly fruits for thousands of years associated with good luck, longevity and transformation.

While waiting for the lights to change at a busy intersection, I noticed how vivid a bronze/orange car looked against the sea of grey, black and white autos. It stood like  a beacon of light in an inert, drab landscape. Time to get peachy tangerined. I think my next auto will feature a persimmon hue.
