    Bountyful autumnal delicacies for this antique outfit pairing a deep red kimono and a black based obi.

    Fruits depicted here are: zakuro (pomegranate), nashi (pear), budou (grape), ringo (apple), and what I assume is biwa (loquat).

    Notice the the rare gourmet food that is the pineapple - exotic/unusual patterns like this one where especially fashionable pre wwii!

  • Ao nashi (young pear)
This delicate wagashi is a late 16th century tea master’s creation.
Bean jam is wrapped with a sweet paste made of arrowroot flour, and sprinkled with white poppy seeds
