I have read somewhere that persimmons were used as a way of predicting how hard or mild the following winter would be. The farmer would slice the seed in half and the shape of the core of the seed would indicate what the winter would be like.

I love how you put the light blue near the color of the persimmon and how it reflects on the surface - and that grayish purple - really nice coloration.
