biwa, loquat びわ　枇杷　
kigo for mid- or late summer

The original loquat (biwa) was a wild variety of fruit in Japan, but it is believed that the origin of the mogi loquat was a fruit brought from China on a Chinese ship between 1830 and 1840. A woman by the name of Miura Shio brought back the seeds for this Chinese loquat, and when she planted it in her brother's field in the village of Mogi, it thrived and bore sweet fruit. This was the first generation of the mogi loquat. Plant husbandry was later improved through grafting, and today the loquat, as the taste of early summer in Nagasaki, is a specialty in which the entire country takes pride.
This full-flavored fruit is small yet sweet and is not only eaten raw but also processed into many sweet products such as jelly candy, while the leaves can be used for loquat tea.

quote
Der Traubenanbau wird in Takamatsu bereits seit 1919 betrieben. Im Jahre 1960 begann man mit der Produktion von kernlosen Trauben, und seit dem Weinlesejahr 1973/1974 wird die Kyoho-Traube angebaut. Hier konzentriert sich das Know-how in Bezug auf den Anbau leckerer Trauben.
Auf der Japanmeerseite erstreckt sich eine ca. 170 ha große Dünenlandschaft, in der die qualitativ hochwertigen und süßen Arten Delaware sowie Kyoho hauptsächlich in Treibhäusern angebaut werden.
Mit der Produktion dieser Rebsorte in Takamatsu wurde begonnen, als im Jahre 1919 ein gewisser Herr Eijiro Ichimura im Gebiet des heutigen Sakuraimachi ein 70 Ar großes Grundstück für den Traubenanbau urbar machte.

京都府京都市上京区寺町通広小路上る染殿町680 - Kyoto

- quote
Nashinoki Shrine is located on the east side of Kyoto's Imperial Palace (Gosho), on Teramachi opposite Rozanji (Rozan Tendaikoji) Temple, both are a short stroll from Demachiyanagi Station or Kyoto Prefectural Hospital on Kawaramachi Dori.
Nashinoki Shrine was built in 1885 and enshrines Sanetsumu Sanjo (1802-1859) and his son Sanetomo, who were both imperial advisers in the late Edo Period, a time marked by political upheaval and violence.
Sanetomo was an ardent supporter of the sonnojoi (Revere the Emperor; expel the barbarians) doctrine and movement, a political forerunner of the Meiji Restoration, which saw the fall of the Tokugawa shogunate in 1868 and the Emperor leave Kyoto and take up residence in Edo (renamed Tokyo), which became the new capital of Japan.
Sanetomo was later to become a minister in the new Meiji state established from 1868.

Many fruits are packed into small paper bags when they begin to form on the branches, to prevent the rain and insects to spoil them. Shortly before the harvest, the first paper bag is taken off, then about two weeks later the last one to have them ripen in the sunshine for a short while.
Since this has to be done one by one the farmers are very busy, especially the apple and grape farmers.
