October Birth Fruits
October ripens the deepest autumn. Each of the 31 days carries its own birth fruit: Shine Muscat, kabosu, Nijisseiki pear, pomegranate, persimmon and more. October 31 belongs to the Nijisseiki pear, whose fruit words are "clarity" and "stillness".
Our birth fruits are compiled independently by one rule: prefer the fruit whose peak season includes your date. Grapes lead into pears, persimmons, chestnuts and apples.
For Halloween and reading-season chats, a card with fruit words does the trick.
