Japanese persimmon

When I was in Beijing, in the campus there were a garden full of persimmon tree. In the autumn, there were a lot of persimmon on the tree. I was born in the south of China. I never saw persimmon in my home town. I did not human can eat persimmon.
At that time, the persimmon just fell onto the ground and nobody went to pick it up.
Before I came to Tokushima, I saw persimmon in Nara and Hiroshima too. I never tried to buy it. I thought maybe Japanese just use that for decoration.
After I came to Tokushima, when I saw that in the store, I bought some back because of my curiosity.
My god, it was so delicious. I hung up some on the window of my old apartment. So everyday I could have one.
Later I introduced that to honey, the American guy. He became to like that very much. Actually persimmon became his favorite fruit.
He said he never saw that in USA. After we came to NY, we went to the Asian store, we saw persimmon. But the name was Japanese persimmon.
I do not know why it was Japanese persimmon.
