Two men and several children in a fruit store. Although this store seems extremely well-stocked, fruit was not as big a part of the Japanese diet as it is today. Commonly eaten were mikan, melon, kaki (persimmon), biwa (loquat), nashi (pear), plum, apricot, peach and apple. In spite of the countless cherry trees, cherries were rare. As were strawberries and most other berries.
