The persimmon holds rich auspicious meanings in traditional culture. Since “persimmon” (柿) sounds similar to “matter” (事), it symbolizes everything going smoothly and all matters being auspicious; mature persimmons are mostly red, and red in China represents celebration, symbolizing a vibrant and prosperous life; multiple persimmons together symbolize good things coming in pairs and continuous celebrations; and the plump shape of persimmons also symbolizes abundance and fulfillment in life.
