Japanese technique of stencilling peaches using sunlight
While growing on a tree, the parts of certain fruit (such as apples and peaches) that are exposed to sunlight turn red, while the unexposed parts stay yellow. There is a Japanese technique that takes advantage of this phenomenon to stencil fruits with pictures or letters.
I am looking for photo examples of this technique applied to peaches specifically.
I'm only able to find examples of this technique for apples. For apples, the technique is called "mojie ringo". There are some examples at this link: https://www.ringodaigaku.com/ringo_blog/english/category/farm-work
I'm pretty sure I've seen photos of this technique used on peaches, but I just can't find them again. I would appreciate some help with finding examples--I'm very interested in learning more about this and potentially applying it to my own peaches!
If someone is able to conduct web searches in Japanese, I'm guessing that would facilitate this--I suspect it's more likely that there are Japanese web pages about this than English ones.
