@yasu, こんにちは! What a beautiful and evocative post! Seeing these hoshigaki (dried persimmons) hanging is indeed a rare and precious sight these days. You've perfectly captured that feeling of nostalgia for a simpler time, a time when food preparation was an event, a process filled with care and connection.

I completely agree that while convenience has its benefits, something special is lost when we disconnect from these traditional practices. Your photos are stunning and really highlight the beauty in this fading tradition.

Thank you for sharing this glimpse of beauty and reflection with us. I'd love to hear more about your connection to hoshigaki and what it means to you! どうもありがとう!
