"An image good to Koreans," Changdae insists, saying that in the past every house in rural areas stood in the shade of a persimmon tree. At first I thougth it very plain and just sweet, but as many things Korean, I learned to appreciate it, especially the soft variety that I use as jam, mashed and spread over my toast, or as a healthy addition to plain yogurt. I took this photo in front of Kapsa that was surrounded by persimmon trees.
