During World War II, both Japanese women in Japan and Japanese Americans in the U.S. made amulets called, ” Senninbari“ for the soldiers who left their homes and families to fight in the war. Women and community members gathered together and for each soldier stitched one thousand stitches using red thread on a special cloth. These stitched amulets were given to the soldiers for their protection and for their safe return home.
