September Birth Fruits
September opens the season of appetite. Each of the 30 days carries its own birth fruit: chestnut, Kyoho grape, Japanese pear, Shine Muscat, Pione and more. September 1 belongs to the chestnut, whose fruit words are "mountain harvest" and "sturdiness".
Our birth fruits are compiled independently by one rule: prefer the fruit whose peak season includes your date. Grapes lead into pears, chestnuts and figs.
New terms and sports days: a September fruit basket pairs well with an encouraging note.
