Jack's brother and his family came from Ibaragi Prefecture to pick some Kaki (persimmons). This has been a fantastic year with lots of persimmons. Above are Jack's parents with his middle brother and his wife and their younger son and his fiance who is holding the vases Jack gave her from his studio. Below they are using bamboo poles that have been split on the small end to catch the stem or small limbs and twist--breaking the branch and then you can bring the kaki down without needing a ladder. Kaki trees are very easy to break so we can't climb the trees except for the major branches at the bottom.
