		<description>Great blog post. I&#039;ve seen the persimmons hung on racks in Ishikawa prefecture, and they always reminded me of Christmas ornaments. Interesting that you raised the topic around the Christmas season.</description>

		<description>@RK:  Thanks for the link.  :) 

I mentioned the name hoshi-gaki in the post.  Where I live, they use both.  The ones I&#039;ve seen sold at the store were called tsurushi-gakis, but when my father-in-law gave some homemade ones to us, he called them hoshi-gaki.</description>

		<description>Deas, 
Something like this net might work, to avoid bugs?

In my hometown (Shikoku), they are called &quot;hoshi-gaki.&quot;</description>

		<description>@Deas:  Not sure.  We haven&#039;t had a problem with bugs at all.  Maybe because it&#039;s winter?  Or maybe bugs don&#039;t like kaki either.</description>

		<description>How do you avoid bugs? I mean, you&#039;re hanging a sweet fruit outside for months! Surely you attract the odd critter or two?</description>
